"ok this is a song called reason 41.
One two three four"
Well I used to wonder why that
When it’s black there is no white
And why that when it’s day
There is never any night
I got talking to a soldier and he tried to set things right
He said, "if you want peace them you will always have to
fight"
Hey
I went searching in the desert
Where it just began to rain
And I met up with this drunken bum who said he’d "lost his
name"
He said, "i put it in this bottle and it drifted out to
sea".
I said, "there is no water here" and he walked away
from me
So then I asked for help from a very clever man
He kept looking down at his figures
He was a very busy man
I told him what the problem was he said, "that’s sad. I’d
like to help you boy but there is nothing I can add"
"guitar"
Now my throat was getting dry and I was feeling kinda rough
But I just kept on searching ’till that I’d had enough
I came across a doctor he said, "his cure was the
best"
He diagnosed my troubles, but I didn’t get no rest
"one more time"
Now I was really kind of puzzed
By the things that had been said
And all the people that I’ve mentioned started spinning round my
head
I gave it up for lost and it suddenly was clear
The only reason you are there is ’cos I’m over here
Hey!
