Going Nowhere

(アルバム： Laughter In The Rain - 1974)

Considering
So many folks dissatisfied with everything
Who need someone to understand they're lonely
They're lonely
And they're not alone

And everywhere
They shrug their shoulders
Tell themselves that they don't care
And all the while they make believe they're happy
Oh, they're happy
But not really

And they're asked to hold the world together
Make it happen
Give it children
Who in turn are turning on to going nowhere
And all the strength they'd ever need to help them
Has been wasted
Remains hidden
In the confusion of going nowhere

And who am I
To criticize the world that I have grown up in
Most of you would tell me that I'm crazy
Yes, I'm crazy
I can't help it

I understand
That where you are is where you've been so many years
And things that tend to change you, tend to hurt you
Yes, they hurt you
Very deeply

And still you try to hold the world together
Make it happen
Give it children
Who in turn are turning on to going nowhere
And all the strength they'd ever need to help them
Has been wasted
Remains hidden
In the confusion of going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going, going, going nowhere
Going nowhere
