How Much Light Lyrics

How much light

Can you waste in your lifetime

The sun will have to go

It's too big and it's too slow



Oh, What's a cruel word

It's just a sound

That's reflected through

Your ears into your brains

It's the meaning that gets changed



And oh, what a waste

To be lazy when you're young

To be lazy at all, at all, at all, at all



These filthy streets

They've got middle *#$@

The city is a beak

On a bird which cannot fly



The marketing book

And that cheap cotton shirt

Will get you off this bus

But it will put you straight back home





And oh, what a waste

To be lazy when you're young

To be lazy at all, at all, at all, at all



And I might as well tell you now

We all share the same terrible fate

And I might as well tell you now

Your retirement won't be too late



Peace on earth

And goodwill to fall in creatures

The sun will have to go

It's too big and it's too slow
