Is what you say about society.

Catch the witness, catch the wit

Catch the spirit, catch the spit.

The world is, the world is, 
A        G         B 
Love and life are deep, 
A             G     A   E 
Maybe as his eyes are wide.

Exit the warrior, 
Today's Tom Sawyer, 
He gets high on you, 
And the energy you trade, 
He gets right on to the friction of the day.
