Can you see the young and pretty Confident as cops Blooming laughing in the shops Till the sun turns black Can you see the old and lonely Walking through the park Pushing grocery carts Till the sun turns black Can you see the corporate man He's winning on the telephone His possessions are his throne Till the sun turns black Can you see him in his lounger Watching tv in the dark Waiting for the spark Till the sun turns black Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooo ooh we ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooo ooh we who are we? Can you see the working classes Trudging through their days Time goes slowly when you're only waiting Till the sun turns black Can you see the wise man simply Living loving quietly Every breath he takes eternity Till the sun turns black
