What Can The Matter Be? |
His mother told him when he was just young |
There are things you can do, but some can’t be done |
And you won’t be able to always have fun |
'Cause your color is black, some won’t accept that |
Oh dear, what can the matter be? |
Oh dear, what can the matter be? |
Oh dear, what can the matter be? |
Now time moves on, the world moves fast |
No time for flowers, no place to grow grass |
There’s no fishing hole where he used to go |
Just four story factories with pillows of smoke |
Oh dear, what can the matter be? |
Oh dear, what can the matter be? |
Oh dear, what can the matter be? |
All the bushes have grown from society’s rot |
Young ideas keep moving, but the old way’s still taught |
Though his mind is his own it seems all that he’s got |
He’s six months in jail, for just smoking pot |
Oh dear, what can the matter be? |
Oh dear, what can the matter be? |
Oh dear, what can the matter be? |
