Well, I've been hanging down-side up   Feeling really banged up   Wishing everybody would shut up   In the village of the sun      Well, it?s more than just a little bit loud   But I'll be more than just a little proud   To think that the opinions of rocks and of clouds   Would even give us recognition      Oh, I echo, it decays   I hear a sound, it is delayed   And I know that help is on the way   To the village of the sun      To the powers that be   To the powers that be   To an hour to be      Is it the intention of that child   To be a bastard in the wild   Eventually move to his inventions   Like the invention of a cannon      Of course a cannon makes a ruckus   Or like the lady in that circus   Oh, we could try and maybe fly us   Right out the village of the sun      To the powers that be   To the powers that be   To an hour to be      But maybe I've said enough   And I wasn?t trying to be all funny   And I wasn?t trying to be all tough   I?m almost done      Doesn't matter what I say   Or for that matter what sayeth thee   And ain't that the way   In the village of the sun      To the powers that be   To the powers that be   To an hour to be   To an hour to be
