This morning I woke last as long as the rushes
Wipe the sweat from my brow, let the tap run dry
It's a hard knock life,
without the pushing,
shoving
When do I mosey on by with the sleep in my eye?
Oh,
call my name,
let no stranger judge Know my place in this world,
and it's a short
ride I treat each face as they come before me
Heard ignorance was evil,
then Socrates smiled
I spent all day in the public library
Hoping to be seen by some passerby
With an ancient recount of the guns and the glory
Democracy saved and my head held high Oh,
call my name,
let no stranger judge
Know my place in this world,
and it's a short ride
I treat each face as they come before me Heard ignorance was evil,
then Socrates smiled
Sometimes
I wait and I watch and I wonder Would
the world equate if we all sat awhile?
And I recall it's our nature to take
into Village and plunder all life,
all time
Oh,
call my name,
let no stranger judge Know my place in this world,
and it's a free
ride I treat each face as they come before me
Heard ignorance was evil, then Socrates smiled
Oh,
call my name,
let no stranger judge Know my place in this world,
and it's a free ride
I treat each face as they come before me Heard ignorance was evil,
then Socrates smiled
Socrates smiled
