With just one kiss you could change the world

 It might not be much better but it certainly couldn’t hurt

 When you stomp your feet you aren’t hurting me

 But you’re always killing something just by living on the earth

So who you supposed to listen to

 When you’re looking for something to do

 And all the voices shut you up

 ‘Cause someone put a brick in your coffee cup

 When you’re trying to decide whether to walk or to ride

 Take the easy way; you know that you want to

I saw an educated girl give her hair a twirl

And contemplate the meaning of a man with just one arm

She’s not a genius or a dunce but it makes no difference

For at any moment we might find ourselves a charm

But I’m feeling quite confused by the people who refuse to see

A simple way of life don’t make you the loser

They say we won’t make it far if we don’t drive there in a car

But we’ll be there with time to spare and find our own way home

You might find the meaning of life in the barrel of a rifle

If it’s pointed at a bird or if it’s pointed at your head

But me, I’d rather plant a tree that grows up tall for all to see

Until I need a pencil -- then I’ll chop it to the ground

At night falling down will it make a sound

Should I even wonder what it’d say

It’s so hard to change yourself; easier to tell someone else

That everything is gonna be okay

Ooooh
