Once there was a man of many means
Inherited from someone else's dreams
He said one day, I'll plough and sow the seeds
If only I could learn to tame the weeds
But every time I get to the end
I turn round and start again 'cause they're coming back
Can't take it anymore, can't take it anymore
Tell me what is this for 'cause
I just can't wait any longer
My heart won't beat any stronger
This life is not for me
So off he went and bought some new machines
And chemicals to subjugate the weeds
But now the roots had multiplied and grown
And crowded out the seeds that he had sown
And underneath the setting sun
Now he knew it
All the soil was too ill to comb
And no way through
And every time I get to the end
I turn round and start again 'cause they're coming back
Can't take it anymore, can't take it anymore
Tell me what is this for 'cause
I just can't wait any longer
My heart won't beat any stronger
This life is not for me
But every time I get to the end
I turn round and start again 'cause they're coming back
Can't take it anymore, can't take it anymore
Tell me what is this for 'cause
I just can't wait any longer
My heart can't beat any stronger
This life is not for me
This life is not for me
