Song for Insane Times — текст песни (Kevin Ayers)

People say that they want to be free

They look at him and they look at me

But its only themselves theyre wanting to see

And everybody knows about it



We talk all night and were 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

Everyones dressed and standing around

Alice is wearing her sexiest gown

But she doesnt want you to look at her



Beautiful people are queuing to drown

They wait for the lifeguard to put on his crown

But hes 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 its only a record oh yes it is



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 its just imagination



And you and I we sit and hum

We know somethings got to come

And get us off our endless bum

Theres probably one in the bathroom

Or even in the hall

I dont know anymore than you do

In fact I dont know anything at all
