Well they pushed me down put my head to the ground
And the sound of thunder about the pressure they're under
And hey, I quite like that view down here
They say "Cheer on up", "Now you're touching the top"
And "Don't ever look down at those friends that you've found"
And "If you don't look maybe they'll disappear"
So come on be a man, take the world in your hands
Got appointments to keep and some workers to reap
And hey don't ya think I got vision?
(Chorus)
And oh you turned it all around
You've turned the world on its head
Cut to the sound of what's goin down
She got a basket of white rabbits and she's throwin’ em around
And all these things will soon become clear
Well she eats and she sleeps and she cuts out and keeps
The clippings of news and she worships their views
In the face of invincible fear
So go on tell us all of the terrible fall
It's a story to tell, it's a story to sell
And hey don't ya think it's got vision?
(Chorus)
The men were older, came brave and bolder
Enough to deceive me but not to believe me
And tell me, are you really this sincere?
Circumstances, taking chances, MONEY, MONEY, cash romances
Balls of steel, no time to feel, we'll reel em in
Just reel reel real
And tell me, do we really want their vision?
So come on be a man, take the world in your hands
Got appointments to keep and some workers to reap
And hey, don't ya think I got vision?
(Chorus)
You're falling out before you've even fallen in
You're pulling pieces from the page
You caught the light as it was passing by your door
You must have heard the serenade
The only honesty that wasn't overstated
Were the fleeting flashing glimpses
Of my vision incorporated.
