I KNOW FOR SURE / THAT I SAW WHAT I SAW
NEVER ANY DOUBT ABOUT IT
BUT EVERY EYE SEES A DIFFERENT WORLD
AND YOU CAN LAUGH OR POUT ABOUT IT

BUT TIME’S GOT A FUNNY WAY
OF CHANGING ALL PERSPECTIVE
SO I MIGHT JUST PUT OFF PLAYING A JUDGE
AND FIRST GET A BIT REFLECTIVE

(CUZ PEOPLE SEE) WHAT THEY WANTIN TO SEE
(AND PEOPLE HEAR) WHAT THEY WANTIN TO HEAR
(AND THAT’S THE WAY) THAT’S THE WAY OF A SAD WORLD SINCE ITS YOUTH

AIN’T IT THE TRUTH

YOU KNOW I’M ALWAYS RIGHT / I’M NEVER WRONG
AND IF THERE’S ANY DOUBT ABOUT IT
YOU CAN CHECK MY RECORD ANYTIME
THAT’S WHY I CAN SHOUT ABOUT IT

(CUZ PEOPLE SEE) WHAT THEY WANTIN TO SEE
(AND PEOPLE HEAR) WHAT THEY WANTIN TO HEAR
(AND THAT’S THE WAY) THAT’S THE WAY OF A SAD WORLD SINCE IT’S YOUTH

AIN’T IT THE TRUTH

IT’S CRYSTAL CLEAR
EVERYTHING I SEE
AND ALL THE THINGS I BELIEVE IN
ARE ALL RIGHTLY FRAMED UP IN MY MIND

DRUMMING ON A BEAM
BRINGING ON A NEW LIGHT EVERY DAY
THE SUN IT STARTS A SHINING
ILLUMINATING MINDS ALONG THE WAY
SOMETHING GOING ON, NO MISTAKEN
AWAKEN
TIME TO MAKE IT REAL, BE NO FAKING
AWAKEN

BEES THEY KEEP A BUZZING
SWARMING ALL AROUND PRETTY PISSED
WONDER WHEN THEY’LL SIMMER DOWN
HARD TO SHAKE A HAND WHEN IT’S A FIST
THIS IS WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE WHEN THEY’RE SHAKEN
AWAKEN
TIME TO MAKE IT REAL, BE NO FAKING
AWAKEN

CASH IT KEEPS A SLIPPING OUT
SLIPPING OUT THE BACK DOOR ONCE AGAIN
CLASS WON’T PAY ATTENTION
THINGS AIN’T QUITE THE SAME AS WAY BACK WHEN
ANYTIME ANYBODY’S TAKEN
THEY AWAKEN
EVERY TIME FREEDOM IS FORSAKEN
AWAKEN
SOMETHING GOING ON, NO MISTAKEN
AWAKEN
ANYTIME ANYBODY’S TAKEN
THEY AWAKEN
AWAKEN

GOT PLENTY A GAS / THERE’S AN OPEN ROAD
AND I’M STARTIN TO LIST A PILE A STUFF I WANNA UNLOAD
WEIGHING EVERYTHING DOWN / AND MAKING A FROWN
AND THE TIME IS RIGHT TO CLOSE THIS EPISODE

AND SO I’M TAKING A HOLIDAY

FAMILIAR WALLS / KEEPA CLOSIN IN
AND A LOTTA THINGS I USED TO DIG START WEARIN THIN
NEED A HIDING PLACE / IN ANOTHER SPACE
TO CLEAR MY HEAD ELIMINATE THE SPIN

AND SO I’M TAKING A HOLIDAY

SOMEWHERE TO FIND SOME SOLITUDE
EASE UP MY MIND
MIGHT BE THE TICKET
BEEN WAITING TO FIND

THE GRASS IS GREENER / IN ANY OTHER LAWN
FROM WHATEVER PIECE OF EARTH YOU MIGHT BE STANDING ON
BUT IT’S OK / A LITTLE HOLIDAY
CLEARS THE NIGHT AWAY / A BRAND NEW DAWN

AND SO I’M TAKING A HOLIDAY
