Lyrics

Being There



Mommy Mommy won?t you let me go
I need a ride down to the picture show
No dirty movies gonna warp my mind
I?m feelin? fine, and my eyes still shine

Being there is not the same as imagining but
Just don?t stare, cuz it?s not polite ? no

I don?t believe in no conspiracy
Except for the one against us all
For every spirit that rises up
At no particular time it?s bound to fall

Voting is not the same as pulling the strings but,
Just don?t share your opinions with me - no
