Exit the Merry-Go-Round

I think ole John had it right all along It’s time to get off the merry-go-round There’re people standing over there with guns Each time I pass by, they take a shot at me ridin’ high So far, I’ve taken a few nicks, but I’m still alive I’m gonna slide off this pretty pony on the back side With my stuffed animals in hand, headed for an exit plan Enjoy life a bit more with a little less hindering heartbreak Ride my motor scooter outta this old circus, right through town Say goodbye to my competing colleagues, fade them in my mirror Paintin’ pretty pictures with my words and sippin’ my martini Working when I want and sleeping the day away just for fun Yep, John had it right, that’s for sure To bad he didn’t take heed in his own words And stayed off that pretty pony, exited the merry-go-round Dedicated to John Lennon
