lyrics

I live where there’s no tv, there’s no radio, there’s no clocks, there’s no electric lights. The girls carry water, they don’t wear makeup. They have their babies by themselves. They go in the shack and squat down and have their babies. I live on the ground;I live on the Earth.
I don’t live. I lived in Hollywood. And I had all that. The Rolls-Royce and Ferrari and the pad in Beverly Hills. I had the surfboard and The Beach Boys and ? and Neil Diamond and Rob Scott and Jimmy Griffen, Elvis Presley and Wesley Bestleys and all them guys. The Dean Martin’s and the Nancy Sinatra’s and all the ?
“Will you do it to me? I hear you’ll do it good and all that kind when you come up to my house later?”

So and I went through all that and seen that was a bigger prison then the one I just got out of. And I really didn’t care to go back to prison. Prison doesn’t begin and end at the gate. Prison’s in your mind. It’s locked in one world that’s dead and dying, or it’s open to a world that’s free and alive.

Drugs, LSD. I don’t consider it a drug. I don’t consider peyote a drug. Those are more or less religiously significant: awareness, mind expanding apparatuses that come from the intelligence of the universe.

The reason that the girls liked me was “Hey now! Hey now! I’m all around you! Round you. Hey now up on your heart I can sing through you.” And I played and I sing and they say, “Hey man, you, you got soul you got soul in that music! And I said, “Yeah, I play a little bit. I like music.” And they said, “Man, You’re really somebody!” And I said, “Oh I am? I just got out of jail. I don’t know what somebody is.”

They liked my music. They say, “Man, we want to get you over.” I said, “Get me over for what?” We’ll take you down here to Beverly Hills and we want to get you in cause you’re a star.I said, “I’m a what?” They said, “You’re a star!” So they took me to The Beach Boys and I went and I got on a surfboard are rode around and I looked. Jeez, Willy Jean, this is more trouble then what I just got out of.

Now look at yourself. You got be aware of that. Whether you like it or not, you got to do things. You gotta get up and go through all kinds of changes. Whether you want to or not doesn't matter. Your whole life is put in your paycheck. You couldn't pay me all the money in the world to do something I don’t want to do.
