New Design

Who's that standin' over in the corner?
Mary's lookin' for her lover
Went overseas two days ago
I hope she doesn't have to find another

Some say these things never change
Others say they're gettin' better
Me, I'm standin' in the rain
Waitin' for a change in the weather

I'm not sayin' how I think it should be
All I'm sayin' is that don't look right to me
I'm gonna try to find
A new design
I'm gonna try to find
A new design

Circle won't bend or twist
No matter how hard you stretch it
God made man to be born free
When did he learn to forget it?

A dream is a dream if only it's seen
Otherwise, it's soon forgotten
It's like an apple sittin' in a tree
If it's not picked, it gets rotten

I'm not sayin' how I think it should be
All I'm sayin' is that it don't look right to me
From all I've heard of a better day
A bread and butter day for you and me
I'm gonna try to find
A new design
I'm gonna try to find
A new design

So many different ways to go
Standin' on the crossroads of my life
Been down the side roads, travelled on the high roads
Walkin' to the left and a-kickin' at the right
Hit it

Make up your mind, boy, what's it gonna be?
Everybody's waitin' to know
Are you gonna stay or are you gonna leave?
Do you really think
Do you really think
Do you really think, hey
Oh, there's some place left to go?

I'm gonna try to find
A new design
I'm gonna try to find
A new design
I'm gonna try to find
A new design
