Cat Stevens
The Joke
There's too many objections
And not enough corrections
It's too much of the old way
Besetting on the new day
There's too many schemers
And not enough dreamers
Too many bad news
And not enough of good news
That's what the joke is
That's what the joke's made of
That's what the joke is
And that's what the joke's made of
'cos that's what the joke's made of
It's too many confusions
Not enough solutions
The world is disappearing
But nobody is caring
That's what the joke is
That's what the joke's made of
That's what the joke is
And that's what the joke's made of
'cos that's what the joke's made of
You say not to worry
Just sit back and wait
You say: What's the hurry?
I say: It's too late
Too late - it's too late
That's what the joke is
That's what the joke's made of
That's what the joke is
And that's what the joke's made of
'cos that's what the joke's made of
