Pushing through the market square
Pushing through the market square
So many mothers sighing
So many mothers sighing
News had just come over
News had just come over
We had five years left to cry in
We had five years left to cry in
News guy wept and told us
News guy wept and told us
Earth was really dying
Earth was really dying
Cried so much his face was wet
He cried so much his face was wet
Then I knew he was not lying
Then I knew he was not lying
I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies
I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies
I saw boys, toys, electric irons and TV's
I saw boys, toys, electric irons and TV's
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
And all the fat, skinny people
And all the fat, skinny people
And all the tall, short people
And all the tall, short people
And all the nobody people
And all the nobody people
And all the somebody people
And all the somebody people
I never thought I'd need so many people
I never thought I'd need so many people
A girl my age went off her head
A girl my age went off her head
Hit some tiny children
Hit some tiny children
If the Black hadn't have pulled her off
If the Black hadn't had pulled her off
I think she would have killed them
I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm
A soldier with a broken arm
Fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
Fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
And a queer threw up at the sight of that
And a queer threw up at the sight of that
I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlor
I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlor
Drinking milk shakes cold and long
Drinking milk shakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
Don't think you knew you were in this song
Don't think you knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it rained, so I felt like an actor
And it was cold and it rained, so I felt like an actor
And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there
And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk
I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
Five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got
Five years, that's all we've got
We've got five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, what a surprise
Five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, stuck on my eyes
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got
Five years, that's all we've got
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
Five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got
Five years, that's all we've got
We've got five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got
Five years, that's all we've got
Five years
