Somebody said, where's the music goin'? Somebody said, it's gone Somebody said, the wind is bad, wind is blowin' Will the music keep a-rollin' on? I had to ask myself why it is makin' me A miserable man from cradle to grave Should there be somewhere else that could be takin' me As it rolls on over like a wave Somebody said, we've got to find the words There's got to be an answer there Somebody said, that you never get hurt Cause nobody really cares You know that you can't dance when the waves begin And I'm thinkin' as you're sinkin' below Or do you take this chance to sail on the wind When so many in the water choose to row? Some may curse the crippled Some try to hide their hurt Some may hate the hungry But who's dyin' down there in the dirt? Somebody said, has the man enlightened us? Somebody said, who knows? But every little boy said, well I may be frightened But the emperor has got no clothes The passion dies, but the beat goes on The conductor's got us singin' his song He's been readin' the lies that we've been pickin' upon But we've been at the bank with you long Somebody said, where are the dreamers?

Somebody said it's gone Somebody said, with the bad wind a-blowin' Will the music keep a-rollin' on? Somebody said Somebody said Somebody said Somebody said
