On the sidewalk the people are hustling and bustling
They ain't got no time so they think on the thing
That will fill in the space in between birth and death
Who're they kidding?
On the TV the people are mumbling and grumbling
They ain't got no hope so they give out the news
That the world's got the blues, S.O.S. S.O.S.
Bless my soul
In the movies the people are identifying
They ain't got no season to split for no reason
And so they get by on the great community lie
On the sidewalk the people are hustling and bustling
They ain't got no time so they think on the thing
That will fill in the space in between birth and death
Who're they kidding?
