Poem for the People - Live in Paris, France 12/8/69
We are now going to do a song that's eh, that's up for a new album
Which will be out in the states, I think in January
Is one copy called for the people
If all the people only knew
If they could visualize
Just open their eyes
Even stop to think about
If they could open their minds
They could get beyond
The world's a funny place you know
Most of what goes on is rarely funny
Rarely funny (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Could the people understand
In they could often this dream
And colorless dreams
Could they finally comprehend
If they could suddenly see
And suddenly feel
The world's a funny place you know
Most of what goes on is rarely funny
Rarely funny (oh-oh-oh-oh)
(oh-oh-oh-oh)
Uh-uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh
Which will be out in the states, I think in January
Is one copy called for the people
If all the people only knew
If they could visualize
Just open their eyes
Even stop to think about
If they could open their minds
They could get beyond
The world's a funny place you know
Most of what goes on is rarely funny
Rarely funny (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Could the people understand
In they could often this dream
And colorless dreams
Could they finally comprehend
If they could suddenly see
And suddenly feel
The world's a funny place you know
Most of what goes on is rarely funny
Rarely funny (oh-oh-oh-oh)
(oh-oh-oh-oh)
Uh-uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh
