Life is sometimes shorter than you think
So take yourself a hike from the kitchen sink
MeI like to roam

Wasn't built in a day
And night throws the stars in our way
Meanwhile on planet earth


Some people are dying for the right to say
Some people are dying 'cause the other people busy blowing them away

Wellwe're all dying so we better have a ton of fun along the way
I say hats offget your hats offtake your hats offget your hats off
For the blue beret

Blue beretblue beret

The wind has blown it off his head

And sent it spinning straight to nowhere
Nowhere to get ahead in this life


Life is sometimes longer than you need
Especially if it's thrown away on hate and greed
Wellme I like to think while the other fish swim

But sharks made a meal out of him
Meanwhile on bone dry land


Some people are dying for the right to say
Some people just want the right to say
Some people are dying 'cause the other people busy blowing them away

Some people are merely blown away
Wellwe're all dying so we better have a ton of fun along the way
I say hats offtake your hats offget your hats offtake your hats off

To the blue beret
Blue beretblue beret


The wind has blown it off his head
And sent it spinning straight to nowhere
Nowhere to get ahead in this life

So just love your dog and don't kick your wife
Put down that knifewatch out the windows
And blow your hat away
