Kevin Ayers

Why do we waste our lives
Why do we stay asleep
So many confused words
So many total disasters there are

We all try to change the world
But change has to come from ourselves
So much ignored advice
So many drowned and wasting away

Everybody wants to be free
But before this can be
You've got to learn, learn how to see
Just from what it is that you want to be free

Why do we waste our lives
Wy do we stay asleep
So many confused words
So many total disasters there are
