[Chorus]
Hey, can you tell me
What everybody plans to do
Hey, can you tell me
Where s everybody s going to
[Verse 1]
(improvise a bit with the basic chords during each verse)
They re out there on the street
N.C.
They must be elite
They got shoes I can t afford on their
Quick fast feet
N.C.
They have modified irises
N.C.
Behind opaque lens
They re hiding equipment
Behind barbed wire fences
N.C.
They have somewhere to go
N.C.
They have somewhere to lurk
They have this high-end electronic stuff
I wouldn t know how to work
[Chorus]
Hey, can you tell me
What everybody plans to do
Hey, can you tell me
Where s everybody s going to
[Verse 2]
I m sitting here on my couch
N.C.
My enthusiasm sinking
I don t know where anybody s going
I don t know what they re thinking
N.C.
There seems to be some secret
N.C.
That everybody s onto
But I just don t seem to get it man
Not even if I want to
[Chorus 2]
Hey, can you tell me
What everybody plans to do
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus]
Hey, can you tell me
What everybody plans to do
Hey, can you tell me
Where s everybody s going to
[Verse 3]
I got an upright piano
That is blocking my door
But my fingers don t obey me
So I don t play it anymore
N.C.
I got chains around my ankles
N.C.
That are made out of spaghetti
My newspaper s shredded
Into so much confetti
N.C.
I tried to make sense of it
N.C.
But my eyes start to bleed
Every single page is impossible to read
[Chorus]
Hey, can you tell me
What everybody plans to do
Hey, can you tell me
Where s everybody s going to
[Outro]
Just sittinâ here waitinâ on the weather report
N.C.
