I may make you feel but I can't make you think Your sperms in the gutter, your love's in the sink! So you ride yourselves over the fields And you make all your animal deals And your wise men don't know how it feels To be thick as a brick! And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away The tidal destruction, the moral melee The elastic retreat rings the close of play As the last wave uncovers the newfangled away But your new shoes are worn at the heels And your suntan does rapidly peel And your wise men don't know how it feels To be thick as a brick! And the love that I feel is so far away I'm a bad dream that I just had today And you shake you head And say "It's a shame!" Spin me back down the years and the days of my youth Draw the lace and black curtains and shut out the whole truth Spin me down the long ages Let them sing the song See there! A son is born And we pronounce him to fight There are black heads on his shoulders And he pees himself in the night We'll make a man out of him Put him on a trade Teach him to play monopoly And how to sing in the rain
