Kevin Ayers - Song For Insane Times lyrics

People say that they want to be free They look at him and they look at me But it's only themselves they're wanting to see And everybody knows about it We talk all night and we're all turned on We believe we heard him singing his song Telling us all there was work to be done And everyone sung a chorus of i am the walrus Yes disneyland has come to town Everyone's dressed and standing around Alice is wearing her s**iest gown But she doesn't want you to look at her Beautiful people are queuing to drown They wait for the lifeguard to put on his crown But he's up at the other end of town Trying to talk to the mirror The scientist talks and he knows what he means He sits on the floor and has beautiful dreams Then he gets brought down by a woman who screams But he knows it's only a record His brave new girl stops feeding the ants And looks at him with her septic pants She still knows how to make him dance And forget about emancipation And you and i we sit and hum We know something's got to come And get us off our endless bum There's probably one in the bathroom Or even in the hall I don't know anymore than you do In fact i don't know anything at all
