Planted a seed of an apple one day
Now I've got a fig leaf to cover my head
Planted the truth on a slab of stone
Well the word's still there but the inside's gone
Ain't that a way to make a wheel go, boy?
Ain't that a way to make a wheel?

Fed a whole tribe with fish and bread
I caught him a-coming and left him for dead
Planted a flower in Chicago
I'm damned if the mother loving flower would grow
Ain't that a way to make a wheel go, boy?
Ain't that a way to make a wheel?

Had a big ship on the Aegean Sea
But it sunk in the ocean cos it couldn't be free
Had a revolution, gonna set us all free
It workеd for you, boy, but not for me
Ain't that a way to make a wheel go, boy?
Ain't that a way to make a wheel?

Bought a littlе island for twenty-four bucks
It's worth its weight now in garbage trucks
Planted a mushroom in '45
Now can't you see nobody's alive?
Ain't that a way to make a wheel go, boy?
Ain't that a way to make a wheel?
Planted a seed of an apple one day
Now I've got a fig leaf to cover my head
Planted the truth on a slab of stone
Well the word's still there but the inside's gone
Ain't that a way to make a wheel go, boy?
Ain't that a way to make a wheel?

Fed a whole tribe with fish and bread
I caught him a-coming and left him for dead
Planted a flower in Chicago
Damned if the mother loving flower would grow
Ain't that a way to make a wheel go, boy?
Ain't that a way to make a wheel?
