Younger men don't seem to need a purpose
They just stand and fight for anybody's cause
And older men see livin' as a circus
The ones who stand up for the longest need applause
From the young ones who proclaim to have the answers
To the questions no one ever asked before
They cheer and have parades but when it's over
They don't claim to know the answers anymore
It's a crazy world, but I live here
And if you can hear me singin' so do you
And I'm turnin' out my night light feelin' satisfied
That there's nothin' anyone of us can do
No, there's nothin' anyone of us can do
Babies cry all day sometimes for nothin'
And I have cried all day for not much more
It ain't easy when you hate the things you're lovin'
And you wonder what or maybe who you're lovin' for
Girls seem to think that they're the chosen ones
Women choose to let well enough alone
And it's their business 'til you stick your nose in ones
Then you got yourself some problems of your own
It's a crazy world, but I live here
And if you can hear me singin' so do you
And I'm turnin' out my night light feelin' satisfied
That there's nothin' anyone of us can do
No, there's nothin' anyone of us can do
