The Drock on which I Cstand is slowly Bmsinking in the Bbsand
The sheer Grealities of Alife are rushing Dby

DI stopped a man in the Astreet today
And I Casked him "Sir, is it Emnight or day
He just Fstared in disbeEmlief Bm
DI asked again but he Awalked away

DNight is light and Adark is day
If I Cdisagree they say EmI'm insane
And the Ftreatment will Gbegin
DIf I say that the Aday is light
They just Cpoint my eyes to the Emblinding night, saying
F"We can't set you Emfree if you Falways disaEmgree,
So the FState is going to Cpay your doctor's Dfee"
