'Bout the ways that things are going?
No, I neve r ever think of it at a ll

That is, no b usiness at all
When it's time to function

Will your Bach elor of Arts help you get b y?

Ooh , yeah yeah yeah
Will you try to change things
Cm7onB♭
Use the power that you have
The powe r of a million new id eas?
What is this power you speak of
And the need for things to change?
I always thought that everything was fine
Ever ything is fine
Do n't you feel repression just closing in around?
No, the camp us here is very ve ry free
Don't it make you angry
The way war is dragging on?
Well, I hope the president knows what he's into
I don't know
Ooh, I just don't know, yeah
Do n't you see starvation in the city where you live
All the needless hunger
Al l the needless pain?
Ooh, I haven't been there lately
The country is so fine
But my neighbors don't seem hungry
'Cause they have n't got the time
Have n't got the time
Thank you for the talk
Cm7onB♭
You know you really eased my mind
I was trou bled by the shapes of things to c ome
Well, if you had my outlook
Your feelings would be numb
You'd always think that everything was fine
Everything was fine
