To see a lazy
A brain he meant to be, cop out?
He's crazy!

And who's believing who? who's doin' the fishin'?
Do what you want to do or you can keep on wishin'!

He's crazy!

When life means much to you
Why live for dying
If you are doing right
Why are you crying

Timber all fall down!
Timber who's around!
Watch out, 'cause the summer gets cold
When today gets too old
