watching the wheels – John Lennon

People say Im crazy doing what Im doing

Well they give me all kinds of warnings

to save me from ruin

When I say that Im o.k.

well they look at me kind of strange

Surely youre not happy now

you no longer play the game

People say Im lazy

dreaming my life away

Well they give me all kinds of advice

designed to enlighten me

When I tell them that Im doing fine

watching shadows on the wall

Dont you miss the big time boy

youre no longer on the ball

Im just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round

I really love to watch them roll

No longer riding on the merry-go-round

I just had to let it go

Ah, people asking questions

lost in confusion

Well I tell them theres no problem,only solutions

Well they shake their heads

and they look at me as if Ive lost my mind

I tell them theres no hurry

Im just sitting here doing time

Im just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round

I really love to watch them roll

No longer riding on the merry-go-round

I just had to let it go

I just had to let it go

I just had to let it go
