From Marlon Brando to De Bono
I lie about the books upon my shelf
Between the front door and the back door
There is a measure of my worldly wealth
Not to mention mental health

Come on now
Don’t cry honey, I know I’ve let you down some
But don’t sigh honey, given time and money
We can turn this ship around

And we’ll rig new sails, write fresh charts,
put fresh hope in our cynical hearts
We’ll steer a course for an open sound
and we’ll turn this ship around

In the dead zone, I hear the flat tone
that calmly measures out my time on earth
Between the long hair and the bath chair
It seems it’s all marked out for us from birth
It’s not how I measure what I’m worth

Come on now
Don’t cry honey, I know I’ve let you down some
But don’t sigh honey, given time and money
We can turn this ship around

And we’ll rig new sails, write fresh charts
put fresh hope in our cynical hearts
We’ll steer a course for an open sound
and we’ll turn this ship around
