Reason 41

«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!
