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
