With just one kiss you could change the world,
It might not be much better-- but it certainly couldn't hurt.
When you stomp your feet you aren't hurting me,
But you're always killing something just by living on the Earth...
So who you supposed to listen to when you're looking for something to do?
And all the voices shut you up
-Someone put a brick in your coffee cup.-
When you're trying to decide whether to walk or to ride;
Take the easy way you know that you want to
I saw an educated girl give her hair a twirl
And contemplate the meaning of a man with just one arm.
She's not a genius or a dunce, but it makes no difference;
For at any moment we might find ourselves a charm
But I'm feeling quite confused by the people who refuse
A simple way of life that don't make you the loser.
They say we won't make it far unless drive there in a car,
But we'll be there with time to spare and find our own way home.
You might find the meaning of life in the barrel of a rifle
Whether it's pointed at a bird or if it's pointed at your head.
But me, I'd rather plant a tree that grows up tall for all to see..
Until I need a pencil, then I'll chop it to the ground
At night falling down, will it make a sound?
Should I even wonder what it'd say?
It's so hard to change yourself to tell someone else
That everything is going to be okay..
Oooh
