Younger men don't seem to need a purpose They just stand and fight for anybodys cause And older men see livin 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 And they cheer and have parades but when it's over They don't claim to know the answers anymore And it's a crazy world, but I live here And if you can hear me singin so do you And I'm turnin out my night light feelin satisfied That there's nothin any one of us can do No, there's nothin anyone of us can do Babies cry all day sometimes for nothin And I have cried all day for not much more Well it aint easy when you hate the things you're lovin And you wonder what or maybe who you're lovin for And girls seem to think that they're the chosen ones And women choose to let well enoung alone And it's their business til you stick your nose in ones And then you got yourself some problems of your own
