That's The Way That The World Goes 'Round


John Prine Lyrics

 

That's The Way That The World Goes 'Round by John Prine


I am the question to the world,
Not an answer to the earth,
Or a moment that's held in your arms.
And what do you think you'd ever say?
I wont listen anyway.
You don't know me and,
I'll never be what you want me to be.
And what do you think you'd understand,
I'm a boy no, I'm a man.
You can take me and throw me away,
And how can you learn whats never shown.
Yeah you stand here on your own.
They don't know me,
Cause I'm not here.
And I wanna moment to be real,
Wanna touch things I dont feel,
Wanna hold on and feel I belong.
And how can the world want me to change?
They're the ones that stay the same.
They dont know me,
Cause im not here.
And you see the things they never see,
All you wanted I could be.
Now you know me and I'm not afraid.
And I wanna tell you who i am,
Can you help be a man?
They can break me as long as I know who I am.
And I wanna moment to be real,
Wanna touch things I dont feel,
Wanna hold on and feel I belong.
And how can the world want me to change?
They're the ones that stay the same.
They can't see me,
but I'm still here.
They can't tell me who to be,
Cause I'm not what they see.
Yeah the world is still sleeping,
While I keep dreamin for me.
And their words are just whispers,
And lies I'll never believe.
And I wanna moment to be real,
Wanna touch things I dont feel,
Wanna hold on and feel I belong.
And how can they say I never change?
They're the ones that stay the same.
I'm the one now,
Cause I'm still here.
I'm the one,
Cause I'm still here,
I'm still here,
I'm still here,
I'm still here.
