"Citizen Of The Planet"
SIMON & GARFUNKEL LYRICS
AS FATHER IN HEAVEN WOULD SEE IT.
I am a citizen of the planet
I AM LAZY AND I WILL NOT PRAY
I was born here
SO THEY SAY
I'm going to die here
FOR I WISH NOT TO STAY
Come what may
I WILL HAVE TO PAY
“the piper someday”
I am entitled by my birth
WITHOUT DELAY
To the treasures of the earth
I WOULD LOVE TO PLAY WITH
No one must be denied these
THINGS, JUST TO BE GAY
light-hearted and carefree.
in high spirits, joyful, elated, exuberant,
No one must be denied
WHAT CAN I SAY
Easy dreams
ALONG THE WAY
At the end of a chain-smokin' day
I WILL LEARN TO REST IN THE HAY
Easy dreams at the end of the day
SO THEY SAY
Who am I to believe?
EXCEPT THE SUN WITH HIS RAY
“Rainbow of hope”
Get a full copy of an e-book
That the future we perceive
WILL STAY WHEN WE PRAY
Lies in danger and the dangers increase
WHEN WE DISOBEY THE MASTER ALONG THE WAY
Who are we to demand?
ALONG THE WAY
That the leaders of the land
DESERVED TO BE FLAYED
Whip or beat (someone) so harshly as to remove their skin.
“For all there lies and deception”
Hear the voices of reason and peace
TODAY, AND LEARN TO OBEY
We are the citizens of the planet
WHO ARE LAZY AND WILL NOT PRAY
We were born here
SO THEY SAY
We're going to die here
FOR REAL, FOR I DO NOT WANT TO STAY
Come what may
THEY WILL THROW A BOCAY
“Beautiful bokeh of flowers”
I am entitled by my birth
WITHOUT DELAY
To the treasures of the earth
I WOULD LOVE TO PLAY WITH
No one must be denied these
THINGS, JUST TO BE GAY
Light-hearted and carefree.
In high spirits, joyful, elated, exuberant,
No one must be denied
WHAT CAN I SAY
Easy dreams
ALONG THE WAY
At the end of a chain-smokin' day
I WILL LEARN TO REST IN THE HAY
Easy dreams at the end of the day
SO THEY SAY
Who am I to deny
ON THE DAY, IN MAY, IN THE HAY, AS I LAY, TO PRAY
What my eyes can clearly see
AS I STRAY ALONG THE WAY
And raise a child with a flame in his heart
WHO HAS LEARNT TO OBEY ON MY DAY
The Sabbath (Saturday) was to be used to teach your children to sing this "Song", not hymns or rock and roll etc. but THIS "Song", without which you can NOT survive or live in peace and HARMONY with your fellow man.
Who are we to believe
IN SUCH PLAYFULL AND GAYFULL “time”
That these thoughts are so naïve
TO BEHAVE IN SUCH A WAY
When we've all disagreed from the start
LET’S GET TOGETHER IN AGREEMENT; PRAY AND OBEY FOR THERE IS NO OTHER WAY.
