Watching the Wheels - John Lennon

People say I'm crazy
doing what I'm doing.
Well they give me all kinds
of warnings to
save me from ruin.
When I say that
I'm o.k. well they
look at me kind of strange.
Surely you're not happy
now you no longer
play the game.
People say I'm lazy
dreaming my life away.
Well they give me all kinds
of advice designed
to enlighten me.
When I tell them that
I'm doing fine watching
shadows on the wall.
Don't you miss the big
time boy you're no
longer on the ball.
I'm 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 there's no problem,
only solutions.
Well they shake their heads
and they look at me
as if I've lost my mind.
I tell them there's no hurry
I'm just sitting here doing time.
I'm 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!
