[Chorus]
All is what it seems
It means just what it means

The sky is blue and the grass is green
In all the little bourgeois dreams


Will I make the baseball team?
Will Somebody love me?
Will the ground stay beneath my feet

and the sky above me?
Will I pass my final exams and finally make the grade?
Will I be forever young, or slowly start to fade?


[Chorus]


Daddy died and I don't know why
Mom sits alone at home and cries
She will never be quite the same

She took all the blame
My older brother will lead the way
Where he is? I cannot say

He always liked to be alone
He never writes he never phones


Will I pass my driving test? and get my very first car?
Will I ever know who I am or who you are?
Will I work at the corner store

and save a dollar everyday
Will I ever really know the price I have to pay?


[Chorus]

I drive around the whole day long

Just to make a living wage
At night I sit and watch TV
like a monkey in a cage

When I was young, the summer sun
rised before an age
but now the days just fly away

To where? I cannot say

Never ask a question

That has no answer
Never look the young blood is, to what is no more
Will they ever win the war?

Find a cure for cancer?
Will my pension carry me, to that distant shore?


[Chorus]
