Somebody said...Where's the music goin' 
Somebody said...It's gone 
Somebody said...With this bad wind a blowin' 
Will the music keep a rolling on 
I had to ask myself 
WHy it's makin' me 
A minstrel man from cradle to grave 
Should there be somewhere else 
It could be takin' me 
As it rolls on over like a wave 
Somebody said...We got to find the words 
Got to, got to be an answer there 
Somebody said that...You never get heard 
'Cause nobody really cares 
Do your feet just dance 
Where the waves begin 
Stop thinkin' as you're sinkin' below 
Or do you take this chance to sail on the wind 
When so many in the water chose to row 
Some may curse the crippled 
Some try to hide the hurt 
Some they hate the hungry 
But who's dying down there in the dirt 
Somebody said...Has the man enlightened us 
Somebody said...Who knows 
And then the little boys said...Well I may be frightened 
But the Emperor has got no clothes 
As the passion dies 
But the beat goes on 
The conductor got us singing his song 
He's been feedin' these lies 
That we've been feasting upon 
But now we've been at the banquet too long 
Somebody said...Where are the dreamers 
Somebody said...Dead 
Somebody said...Here comes the holy rollers 
Tryin' to sell us all the screamers instead 
Since we were once deceived 
When we received the call 
Now the cynics are the prophets of the day 
And now the weak ones grieve 
As the strong ones fall 
And the rest of us have nothing to say 
Some suffer in silent sadness 
Some come to worship pain 
Some just welcome madness 
But you can't come in from the rain 
Somebody said 
Somebody said
