We sat around tonight and talked about so many things
Lay on the floor till the morning appeared
You laughed at me, you said I just don't get it
You said we should be making plans for getting out of here
Somebody
told me when I was just a little kid
Don't follow leaders,
think for yourself But everybody minds everybody else's business
here Why can't they turn their eyes to somebody
else's home?
Tell me,
now,
who's thinking we could ever be something?
We could rise with the stars,
better off as we are
My older brother,
he left the day he finished school Moved down to New York,
Washington Square
He called me up,
he said you should come see me We'll watch
the waves of people rolling everywhere
Oh, oh,
oh
Oh, oh, oh
Who's thinking we could ever be something?
We could rise with the stars,
better off as we are
Late in the evening,
I'm up in my room Trying to think of nothing,
clear away the day
I lie awake and I let my body wander up into the moonlight,
floating away
Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh
Tell me, now,
who's thinking we could ever be something?
We could rise with the stars,
better off as we are
