I know I owe you a better time Then the way that I've been But something's messing with my mind And it's not giving in They say that I should want to be A man who leads us all But every time I look I see Another leader fall. So I'm gonna sit in a green field And fly a big red kite I'm gonna Send my mind up the string and I'm gonna get it right. They say that I should want to have A big bank account What Uncle Sam don't take from me Man I don't need to count. They say that I should want to stand For what I don't believe I'm sitting thinking to myself What kind of man could leave.
