People say I am crazy, doing what I am doing.
Well, they give me all kinds of warning to save me [bad word] 
When I say that I am okay,
Well, they look at me kind of strange,
Surely you are not happy now,
You no longer play the game.

People say I am lazy, dreaming my life away.
Well, they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me.
When I tell them that I am doing fine
Watching shadows on the wall,
Don't you miss the big time, boy,
You are no longer on the ball.

I am 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.

Ah, people asking questions, lost in confusion.
Well, I tell them there is no problem, only solutions.
Well, they shake their heads and look at me
As if I lost my mind.
I tell them there is no hurry,
I am just sitting here doing time.

I am 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,
I just had to let it go,
I just had to let it go.
