They said heaven is a country that hasn't been found
Its people are the people who are even around
And as you sit and make me wait at the bottom of the stairs
I hope you know that I'm a friend who tries not to care

He says, "Oh, no, no, I can't help you there
You got to do it yourself, you got youth in your hair
But if you're still trying in a couple of years
Well, I got a lot of people who could handle lying in those tears"
Yeah

(He said) You mustn't marry anyone poorer than you
(He said) He's got to be clever but no better than you
(He said) He's got to have a face that you could show to your friends
So if you ever find him, please, chase the man

He says, "Oh, no, no, I can't help you there
You got to do it yourself, you've got youth in your hair
But if you're still trying in a couple of years
Well, I got a lot of people who could handle lying in those tears"
Yeah

He said, "Everyone is boring but they still look the same
And little tiny girls will look for money and fame
And still they are encouraged by leaders and rules
So tell me why I'm the only one who thinks our leaders are fools?"
And says, "Oh, no, no, I can't help you there
You got to do it yourself, you got youth in your hair
If you're still trying in a couple of years
Well, I got a lot of people who could handle lying in those tears"
Yeah

He said, "Heaven is a country that hasn't been found
Its people are the people who are even around
And as you sit and make me wait at the bottom of the stairs
I hope you know that I'm a friend who tries not to care

He says, "Oh, no, no, I can't help you there

Yeah
Tears
