Well I tried to save the world But we ran out of words to say
So instead I'll write this song With a guitar full of chords to play
Well I didn't really write them anyway Well I tried to build a boat
So I could sail myself away But I ran out of words
Left standing on the harbor in the rain Well I'd only get seasick anyway
Yeah 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 me
So then I bought a car With four wheels and a radio
But the engine wouldn't start So I traded my car for a horse and cart
To help me with this heavy load I climbed aboard a rocket ship
But the people in the cockpit wouldn't let me in
I'm left standing on the ground While these people fly around above my head
What a way to start my day What a way to start my day
What 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 me
Who can it be knocking at my door? I hope it ain't the man
Coming to start a war against me It's a sight I never hoped to see
Now I've been full circle But I couldn't seem to find a miracle
So I'll just keep on searching For a world that I believe in
Yeah I should have fixed my car Oh I should have fixed my car
Yeah I should have fixed my car Oh I should have fixed my car
Who can it be knocking at my door? I hope it ain't the man
Coming 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 me
It's a sight I never hoped to see
It's a sight I never hoped to see
