[Verse 1]
Must be some way out of here
Cried the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion here
I can't get no relief
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Businessmen, they drink my wine
Plow men dig my earth
None will level on the line
Nobody of it is worth

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
No reason to get excited
The thief he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
But you and I we've been through a lot
This is not our fate
Let us not talk falsely now
The hour's getting late

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
Barefoot servants came and went
Little children too
Outside in the distance
A wild cat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl

[Instrumental]
