They say you've been around
   They say you've been uptown
   Funny, I was with you
   I just can't recall
   But they say you've been around
  
   They say you've been denied
   A chance at yourself
   They say you even tried
   To make a go
   Funny, it's been so hard
   To try and understand
   They say you've been untied
   I'll see for myself
  
   It's a weird and wonderful time
   It's been so long I thought I'd better ask
  
   Let's settle it now
   Isn't there something that keeps us alive
   Let's settle it now
   It's got to get better
   And better's alright
