It's A Crazy World

(album: It's A Crazy World - 1987)

Younger men don't seem to need a purpose
They just stand and fight for anybody's cause
And older men see living as a circus
The ones who stand up for the longest need applause
From the young ones who proclaim to have the answers
To the questions no one ever asked before
They cheer and have parades but when it's over
They don't claim to know the answers anymore

It's a crazy world, but I live here
And if you can hear me singing so do you
And I'm turning out my night light feeling satisfied
That there's nothing anyone of us can do
No, there's nothing anyone of us can do

Babies cry all day sometimes for nothing
And I have cried all day for not much more
It ain't easy when you hate the things you're loving
And you wonder what or maybe who you're loving for
Girls seem to think that they're the chosen ones
Women choose to let well enough alone
And it's their business 'til you stick your nose in ones
Then you got yourself some problems of your own

It's a crazy world, but I live here
And if you can hear me singing so do you
And I'm turning out my night light feeling satisfied
That there's nothing anyone of us can do
No, there's nothing anyone of us can do
