Sweetness and light, you were right
Summers are gettin' harder
Days echo by, blood red sky
Chop wood and carry water

We only do what we can
And there's a natural plan, you know
And I know that you understand
'Cause you're just that kind of man, you know

Oh, we try and try, we cry, baby, cry
Everybody knows we get nowhere
Again and again forever till the end
And anywhere you go I will go there

Bones in the road getting older
If only it made me smarter
Eyes on the prize, don't think twice
Just chop wood and carry water

Am I still lookin' for clues
And I just feel so confused, you know, you know
And I'm so scared I can't move
But there's just one thing to do, you know

Oh, we try and we try, we cry, baby, cry
And everybody knows we get nowhere
Again and again forever till the end
And anywhere you go I will go there

Oh, we try and we try, we cry, baby, cry
And everybody knows we get nowhere
Again and again forever till the end
And anywhere you go I will go there

Try and try and cry and cry
Everybody knows we get nowhere
Again and again together till the end
Anywhere you go I will
Anywhere you go I will go there
