Peter Sarstedt — Mind of Man

Young people they're all studying, old people they're just worrying What can we do to be happy in this day and age? This is a world full of poses This is a time for unveiling and coming to terms with our fears I don't believe what I read and I don't believe what I see I place no trust in my memory There are prophecies to follow, many calories to swallow And words to lead the children down to glory It's only a dream, a fantastic scheme That's captured the mind of man That's captured the mind of man There's a certain way of being and a way to disappear But there's just your mind to crystalise these things So from the seeds of our beginning to the race that no one's winning There's no one to say the ending of the story It's only a dream, a fantastic scheme Captured the mind of man Captured the mind of man Take a mighty swing to the right Take a mighty swing to the left Or set your trail way down by the middle You'll find a fascinating mystery In every page of human history There's always so many answers to the question But it's only a dream, a fantastic scheme Captured the mind of man Captured the mind of man
