 Well I saw it clear today that we were all more than only refugees

 And the heads of state called out all of their reserves

 So they could postpone World War III

I can hear the morning crier yellin read all about it here's the

truth

 You are either just the newspaper boy or you're either Babe Ruth

Now how could we have been put upon this planet

 Fools enough to think that we could be

 The first to form a civilized envolvement from the charismatic sea

There's a ten year old in the alley

 Throws a hard ball off the wall that is the truth

 He knows you're either just the newspaper boy or you're either Babe

Ruth

The home run king

Solo

 We can all dream up some explicit rationalized dream

 Of exactly who we are

While the rockin rolling home run king

 Keeps the black madonna sleepin with a star

Now it doesn't matter how much bread you can spend

 So you can hold the center booth

 You are either just the newspaper boy or you're either Babe Ruth
