It's been another long night
So here's another song i just had to write
Another tune for you to hum
For today, tomorrow, and years to come.
And before soon
You'll hear my tune
Hummin' through the coils of the wind,
Like sitting on a fence
It doesn't make sense
I've been burning the midnight oil once again
This song's about giving love
To those around you and god above
Forget the ones who smell the smell
Of the fiery pits of the depths of hell
I wrote these rhymes
For the happier times
Where we can chant and sing
I wrote these words
As the world turns
I've been burning the midnight oil once again
This song is about selfish greed
The kind that consumes you and me
Forget the ones who feel the need
To get their wants by any means
For those on their way
To the golden gate
Where St. Peter'll be a waitin'
I don't even know
It just goes to show
I've been burning the midnight oil once again
This song's about spreading peace
All over the world, all over the streets
So please spread all these words
All I've said and all you've heard
I wrote this song
For the dead and gone
And those who've gone insane
Nah, I'm only playin'
I don't even know what I'm sayin'
I've been burning the midnight oil once again
