GIL SCOTT-HERON lyrics : "The Needle's Eye"

A circle spinning faster
And getting larger all the time
A whirlpool spelled disaster

For all the people who don't rhyme

Him who don't fit through the needle's eye

Him who just don't understand
Understand, understand, understand


A brand new sense of freedom
A brand new sense of time
Him may go and stand alone now

And leave the hate and fear behind

All the millions spent for killing

Seems the whole world must be dying
All the children who go hungry
How much food we could be buying


Him who don't fit through the needle's eye
Him who just don't understand

Understand, understand, understand

A brand new sense of freedom

A brand new sense of time
Him may go and stand alone now
And the leave the hate and fear behind


People wake up every morning
And simply push their lives aside

They seem to carry all their feelings
Crushed and crumbled up inside
Inside, inside, inside


Him who don't fit through the needle's eye
Him who just don't understand


So I went to see my father
Many questions on my mind

But he didn't want to answer me
God, the whole world must be blind


Him who don't fit through the needle's eye
Him may someday go insane
Insane, insane, insane


Without a brand new sense of freedom
A brand new sense of time

Him may go and stand alone now
And leave the hate and fear behind, yeah, behind
