You can't
hold back your mind,
you've got much more to find.
A hundred years ago,
you walked right past the door
You can't exist too long
when everything is changing
You've got to look around
and do some rearranging
Take a walk in the city, man,
try and tell me you understand
You gotta take a look,
you get down off the road
Close to life and see,
it's not like what you read
You're making out
during assembly line production
You starve till April end
and live on your deduction
Go to work and you kiss your wife
Miss the bus and you end your life
But pretty life, don't hide behind it
You gotta mind, you gotta wind it
Open your eyes and see
what there is to see
Go out and take a chance,
take yourself by the hand
You're welcome anywhere,
get off your easy chair
There's people doing things
beyond your comprehension
There's people saying things
you wouldn't dare to mention
Put some bread in a brand new car,
lock the door and there you are
You can't hold back your mind,
you got much more to find
El even years ago,
you walked right past your door
You can't exist too long
when everything is changing
You've got to look around
and do some rearranging
Take a walk in the city, man
Try and tell me you understand
You gotta take a look
You get down off the road
Folks don't often see
It's not like what you hear
You gotta hold back your mind
You got much more to find
Eleven years ago
You walked right past your door
Go out and take a chance,
take yourself by the hand,
you won't go anywhere.
