Helplessness Blues |
| I was raised up believing I was somehow unique |
| Like a snowflake distinct among snowflakes |
| Unique in each way you can see |
| And now after some thinking, I’d say I’d rather be |
| A functioning cog in some great machinery |
| Serving something beyond me |
| But I don’t, I don’t know what that will be |
| I’ll get back to you someday soon, you will see |
| What’s my name, what’s my station |
| Oh, just tell me what I should do |
| I don’t need to be kind to the armies of night |
| That would do such injustice to you |
| Or bow down and be grateful and say |
| «Sure, take all that you see» |
| To the men who move only in dimly lit halls and determine my future for me |
| And I don’t, I don’t know who to believe |
| I’ll get back to you someday soon, you will see |
| If I know only one thing, it’s that everything that I see |
| Of the world outside is so inconceivable |
| Often, I barely can speak |
| Yeah, I’m tongue-tied and dizzy |
| And I can’t keep it to myself |
| What good is it to sing helplessness blues? |
| Why should I wait for anyone else? |
| And I know, I know you will keep me on the shelf |
| I’ll come back to you someday soon myself |
| If I had an orchard, I’d work till I’m raw |
| If I had an orchard, I’d work till I’m sore |
| And you would wait tables and soon run the store |
| Gold hair in the sunlight, my light in the dawn |
| If I had an orchard, I’d work till I’m sore |
| If I had an orchard, I’d work till I’m sore |
| Someday I’ll be like the man on the screen |
