a matter of interpretation

write out the message you will get it wrong
the signals will be crossed before they leave
the whole thing's just another stupid song

the weak don't give way to the so-called strong
the oldest ones don't weep although they grieve
write out the message you will get it wrong

the distance we shall travel is not long
but journey takes from dawn till nearly eve
the whole thing's just another stupid song

the dance begins when they have hit the gong
the membership's restricted that i believe
write out the message you will get it wrong

the crowd's large enough to label it a throng
though those who name now will seem naive
the whole thing's just another stupid song

we won't accept that none of us belong
among the masters who do not deceive
write out the message you will get it wrong
the whole thing's just another stupid song
