It's a curious feeling It's a curious feeling to see the edge receding It seems the more I know, the more I don't know Does this ever end? If you listened to fanatics of the left or right You'd think they'd solve it all but they don't convince me Some statesmen, gurus, men of science and of philosophy All have an answer but they won't agree So if anybody tells you stories Of how they're gonna change your world Be they the Aga Khan, the ex Shah of Iran Or the Man from U.N.C.L.E. Say I don't believe you 'cos I know we don't need you In the name of religion or of any politician I'm sure we've heard it all If races always ran to form they never would be run Where would be the fun? And if ever a man could understand everything there was He'd have no reason to carry on So if anybody tells you stories Of how they're gonna change your world Be they the Aga Khan, the ex Shah of Iran Or the Man from U.N.C.L.E. Say come with me then to the Garden of Eden Put back our bites from the apple of the Tree of Knowledge Be like the beasts again
