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
ย
Will I make the baseball team?
Will somebody love me?
Will the ground stay beneath my feet?
And the sky above me
ย
Will I pass my final exams?
And finally make the grade
Will I be forever young?
Or slowly start to fade
ย
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
ย
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
ย
My older brother moved away
Where he is I cannot say
He always liked to be alone
He never writes, he never phones
ย
Will I pass my driving test?
And get my very first car
Will I ever know who I am?
Or who you are
ย
Will I work at the corner store?
And save a dollar every day
Will I ever really know?
The price I have to pay
ย
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
ย
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
Lasted for an age
But now the days just fly away
To where I cannot say
ย
Never ask a question
That has no answer
Never look beyond what is
To what is no more
ย
Will they ever win the war?
Find a cure for cancer
Will my patience carry me?
To that distant shore
ย
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
