Playing Possum |
We lived up here in Cambridge |
And browsed in the hippest newsstands |
The we started our own newspaper |
Gave the truth about Uncle Sam |
We loved to be so radical |
But like a ragged love affair |
Some became disenchanted |
And some of us just got scared |
Now are you playing possum |
Keeping a low profile |
Are you playing possum for a while |
Then you moved to the country |
Bought a farm and tilled the land |
Then you took your books to India |
And got hooked on a holy man |
But the wells they do run dry |
And the speeches turn to words |
And the woods are full of tigers |
And freedom’s for the birds |
Now you run a bookstore |
And you’ve taken on a wife |
You wear patches on your elbows |
And you live an easy life |
But are you finally satisfied |
Is it what you were lookin' for |
Or does it sneak up on you |
That there might be something more |
