The people asking questions
|
To the people with the answers
|
The people with the answers
|
Ire the people with the questions
|
So the people with the questions
|
Asked the people with the answers
|
The people with the answers won’t tell
|
The people with the questions the answers
|
So the people with the questions
|
They ask the people with the answers
|
But the people with the answers won’t speak to them
|
Because the people with the answers
|
Give the people with the questions
|
Just a little bit too hard a time to speak to
|
I’m a man who likes to be alone
|
I’m a man who likes to think alone
|
I don’t have too many answers
|
But I got a whole heap of questions
|
I got a whole heap of questions that I won’t hide from you
|
So low, don’t smile you get high
|
So the people with the books
|
They went and stood up on the mountain
|
To get away from the people with no books
|
The people with the books
|
They started reading on the mountain but
|
They couldn’t see a thing because the sky went dark
|
I don’t know where the cloud cover came from
|
I’m just sitting here rocking on the station
|
I don’t want to be the type of guy
|
Who lives alone, reading books and never eats a pizza pie
|
I don’t want to be the type of person
|
Sitting alone with a book on my own
|
With a book on my own
|
The people with the questions got together
|
With the people with the books
|
And left the people with answers out
|
So the people with the answers
|
Started to make their way over the hill
|
To meet with people with the questions
|
And the people with the books
|
And we all live together on a little round ball
|
We all sing together when the cuckoo calls
|
I’m not the type best living alone
|
Could we live together? |
Well, I don’t know
|
I’m not sitting here giving you a lesson
|
So I’ll just keep my mouth shut for the next few minutes
|
Can’t keep quiet for long, I’m a human being
|
Can’t help help singing this song, I’m a human being
|
You won’t listen to me, I’m not an authority
|
So the people with the answers
|
Met the people with the questions
|
And the people with the books sat down
|
They finally decided to sit around
|
To talk about their problems
|
To see if they come up
|
With some answers to meet the questions
|
And some questions to meet the answers
|
Well, the leaves on the trees are green
|
Okay, we’re agreed on that
|
And the roads are not very clean
|
Okay, we’re agreed on that
|
And the food we eat is not very healthy
|
Okay, we’re agreed on that
|
And the music we make is not particularly good
|
Okay, we’re agreed on that
|
And the planets sort of revolve around the sun
|
Okay, we’re agreed on that
|
And the moon is a big ball with nothing on it
|
And I don’t think anyone’s ever been there
|
Okay, so we’re kind of agreed to that
|
So what are we arguing about? |
Well, I don’t know
|
Okay, so let’s get together and smoke that pizza pie
|
Some people with a pizza pie made me very high
|
The people with the questions smile
|
And the people with the answers lie
|
They lie
|
So no pizza for them |
