lyrics

Turn your head and walk away
Down in San Francisco Bay
You'll come again but not today
The meeting's been adjourned
On the way home suit yourself
A couple glasses to your health
Those goddamn monks don't spread the wealth
So now you'll take your turn

Every ounce of you exhausted by
The things that used to get you high
Waking up to hear the morning bell
How you hate it you would never tell

You came across a microfilm
A vision you could not condemn
Six hundred workers following
A woman dressed in white
You've been cooped up way too long
So move your feet and hum that song
Ocean air can't do you wrong
Deserting starts tonight

All the others on their ego trips
In the race to reach enlightenment
Dinner's dishes are all left undone
Wake up in the morning: you'll be gone
