good lyrics and an <.adam wright.> photo

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. they look at me kind of strange,
Surely your 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 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,

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 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.

Dude, that song is the first one on the only record that still works in my garage, the rest of that record is Cheap Trick's "Live at Budokhan"

When I think about it I started listening to both Cheap Trick and John Lennon because of Beastie Boys.

"This next one is the first song on our new album"
- “Jimmy James” intro sample.

And when Beastie Boys played in Stockholm in like 92 or so, AD Rock had a Lennon T-shirt.

Extremely useful and confidential information.

Great Lennon lyrics. Cool shot by Wright too. Just looked through a copy of his new book (magazine?), Hauler. Good photographer.
