WATCHING THE WHEELS by John Lennon

People say I'm crazy

Doing what I'm doing

Well they give me all kinds of warnings

To save me from ruin

When I say that I'm o.k.

Well they look at me kind of strange

Surely you're not happy boy

You no longer play the game

People say I'm lazy

Dreaming my life away

Well they give me all kinds of advice

Designed to enlighten me

When I tell them that I'm doing fine

Watching shadows on the wall

Don't you miss the big time boy

You're no longer on the ball

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round

I really love to watch them roll

No longer riding on the merry-go-round

I just had to let it go

People asking questions

Lost in confusion

Well I tell them there's no problem only solutions

Well they shake their heads and look at me

As if I lost my mind

I tell them there's no hurry

I'm just sittin' here doing time

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round

I really love to watch them roll

No longer riding on the merry-go-round

I just had to let it go
