Watching The Wheels
Lennon, John
Double Fantasy (1980)

People say I'm crazy
doing what I'm doing
well they give me all kinds of warnings
to save me from ruin
when I say that I'm o.k.
well they look at me kind of strange
surely you're not happy now
you no longer play the game.

People say I'm lazy
dreaming my life away
well they give me all kinds of advice
designed to enlighten me
when I tell them that I'm doing fine
watching shadows on the wall
don't you miss the big time boy
you're no longer on the ball.

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels
go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
no longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go.

Ah, people asking questions
lost in confusion
well I tell them there's no problem
only solutions
well they shake their heads and they look at me
as if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry
I'm just sitting here doing time.

I'm just sitting here ...
