The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Who is the who, telling who what to do?

Who is the who, telling who what to do?

Who is the who, telling who what to do?

Tell me who, tell me who, tell me who

Well, want and able were crossing the road

Want had a feeling there was something he was owed

But able broke it to him that there's a social code

So walk straight down the middle now

And do what we're told

Walk straight down the middle now

And do what we're told

Who is the who, telling who what to do?

Who is the who, telling who what to do?

Who is the who, telling who what to do?

Tell me who, tell me who, tell me who

Want said that didn't feel so good

To never be fulfilled, forever stressed out and impatient

Always saying, "just over the next hill"

Always saying, "just over the next hill"

Who is the who, telling who what to do?

Being able is to freedom what wanting is to cruel

It's hard to tell it seems, which one of them's the fool

Is freedom a gift

That we only give to the ones that say I love you?

Who is the who, telling who what to do?

Who is the who, telling who what to do?

Who is the who, telling who what to do?

Tell me who, tell me who, tell me who

Now, want and able are two different things

One is desire, and the other is the means

Like I wanna hold you, and see you

And feel you in my dreams

But that's not possible

Something simply will not let me
