歌曲歌詞
I can’t buy the lie and it don’t matter
Even though I try to keep my health
It all seems the same such a silly game
Played by silly fools who don’t even follow their own rules
But oh when the sunshine follows me around
Lifts my feet and takes me from the ground
High enough to see the shelf
And know that I was educated by myself
I have seen the streets groaning not battered
Though amongst us all we kept our wealth
And though the rain goes pitter-patter
It don’t change the pain that we all felt
But oh when the sunshine follows us around
Lifts our feet and takes us from the ground
High enough for us to tell
That we were educated by ourselves
It’s a simple dream a common pattern
A universal scheme for us to sell
And though it’s a long long way between Mars and Saturn
But right here on Earth we know so well
That all we need is sunshine on the ground
And smiles and smiles and smiles from frown to frown
Just enough for us to yell
That we were educated by ourselves
