If you've got a pretty idea what you're lookin for
Then you've got a pretty good idea what you will find
You don't have to go very far these days
To find yourself a made up mind
Oh the manmade man is driving big shiny wheels
Way too fast, down a rainy stretch of road
You know the story
You know how this turns out
Wheels up in the dark end cold
Wheels up in the dark end cold
But those kids down in the square
Are dancin like they just don't care
I think they know it all washes away
In the morning rain
In the morning rain
So we can ride for a while
On this big blue wave
Of plastic
And petroleum
And sodium light
But chickens run in circles
The circles are getting smaller
And the fox is in the town tonight
The fox is on the town tonight
But those kids down in the square
Are dancin like they just don't care
Maybe they know it all washes away in the morning rain
In the morning rain
Oh Jesus, Billy Butler, things sure do fall apart
If you could only see that rough beast slouching now
Because our middle has no center
Our up has got no down
Because we ain't got no brains, know how
Oh the rifle's got no safety
And the barn has got no door
And the old man has got no coat for when it snows
And that has got no this
And this has got no that
And the emperor has got no clothes
But those kids, down in the square
Still dancin like they just don't care
Maybe they know it all washes away in the morning rain
Oh those kids out in the streets
They raise up their hands, they keep movin their feet
I think they know it all washes away in the morning rain
In the morning rain
