Well I tried to save the world But we ran out of words to saySo instead I'll write this song With a guitar full of chords to playWell I didn't really write them anyway Well I tried to build a boatSo I could sail myself away But I ran out of wordsLeft standing on the harbor in the rain Well I'd only get seasick anywayYeah I'd only get seasick anyway Who can it be knocking at my door?I hope it ain't the man Coming to start a war against meSo then I bought a car With four wheels and a radioBut the engine wouldn't start So I traded my car for a horse and cartTo help me with this heavy load I climbed aboard a rocket shipBut the people in the cockpit wouldn't let me inI'm left standing on the ground While these people fly around above my headWhat a way to start my day What a way to start my dayWhat a way to start my day Who can it be knocking at my door?I hope it ain't the man Coming to start a war against meWho can it be knocking at my door? I hope it ain't the manComing to start a war against me It's a sight I never hoped to seeNow I've been full circle But I couldn't seem to find a miracleSo I'll just keep on searching For a world that I believe inYeah I should have fixed my car Oh I should have fixed my carYeah I should have fixed my car Oh I should have fixed my carWho can it be knocking at my door? I hope it ain't the manComing to start a war against me Who can it be knocking at my door?I hope it ain't the man Coming to start a war against meIt's a sight I never hoped to seeIt's a sight I never hoped to see
