Allow me before you slink off to the sidelines I'll pay your fair gift three cheers but first tell me who'd be delighted To witness me the top world's greatest problems From war to pollution, no hope of solution Even if I live for one hundred years There is evil, ever around Fundamental system of government, quite incidental So go, if you're able to somewhere unstable and stay there Whip up your hate in some tottering state But not here, dear, is that clear, dear? Oh, what I'd give for a hundred years But the physical interferes, everyday more, Oh my Creator What is the good of the strongest heart In a body that's falling apart? A serious flaw, I hope You know that
