Lyrics
You're blowing bubbles in your yard
Close your eyes while keeping guard
You're having trouble making sense
Of what happens out beyond your fence
Here come the nines but you are a ten
It's more about than you comprehend
Replace the TV every year
But never watch them out of fear
Some people ride through life
Some people steer
Some people speak words
But they never hear
Some people fly through life
While others just walk
Some people complain
But they never talk
Mr Jones is acting strange
You prey that someday he will change
Try and try with all your might
To keep your life safe and white
When every single line from you
Starts with "I'm the kind of person who"
You talk and talk but never hear
You're the same old sucker every year
Some people ...
