The time is here And i'm stoned just like i always am The time is near and i still don't know They say you better hurry or you'll never make a buck Better make a move or you'll never go nowhere Well i'm a songwriter and i just like to sing God knows i really don't want to know about what's happening If i'm lucky i'll make a thousand bucks If i work hard this year Don't blame me if i'm stoned I don't want to see so clear Well i'm so lost i can't remember what i'm looking for I have a purpose and i've got to find out I'll keep on searching keep on beating on this six string I've got faith that i'll make it somehow Well i'm a songwriter and i just like to sing
God knows i really don't want to know about what's happening If i'm lucky i'll make a thousand bucks if i work hard this year Don't blame me if i'm stoned I don't want to see so clear I'm gonna leave this place and drive as far as i need to I must forget what i've been taught to be right I want to question where i'm going what i'm doing I don't need an answer but it'd sure be nice I've got a place inside where i hide myself where my mind can be free I sit back and laugh at this world that usually frightens me And i'd make a change if i thought i could I'm not satisfied here Don't blame me if i'm stoned I don't want to see so clear
