Lyrics
Two, three, go

You can go your way and I will go my way
You can have your say and I will have mine
You can be my friend, I will be your friend
You can be my friend and I will be fine
Is it the answer we seek?
How does it stand as we speak?

The world is unfriendly, there's reason to fear
In the wink of an eye you could see it all crumble
I saw someone mumble, the time may be near
Is it the laughter we seek?
Is it the role of the meek?
Is it the answer in Greek?
Is it the soul of a geek?

The earth is a slumber the guard is away
On their midnight watch when there'll be no mistake
Is it the gold that we seek?
Is it the minds of the meek?
Is it the time of the week?
Where does it stand as we speak?

You can go your way and I will go mine
You can have your say and I will have mine
You can think your way and I will think my way
You can try your way and I will be fine
What is the answer we seek?
Where does it stand as we speak?

The world is unsightly, there's reason to be
In the wink of an eye we could feel the dream shatter
So what be the matter for what shall we see?
Is it the laughter we seek?
Is it the role of the meek?
Is it the time of the week?
Is it the soul of a geek?

The night is uncertain, the guard is at hand
On their midnight watch over fear in the land
Is it the laughter we seek?
Is it the minds of the meek?
Is it the answer in Greek?
How does it stand as we speak?
