Another autobiographical song which draws an analogy to the moral story of the Cicada who spends his life away singing and dancing while the Ants are busy racing : it's about seemingly wasting one's life playing and having fun, trying to be a rock star while others are working serious life careers...
lyrics
I'm making the scene, making the scene, making the scene… Hustling the Teen
I'm working my team, working my team, working my team... As long as my dream
... On the yellow brick road
You don't do as you're told
Sleep late into mornings
Get busy in evenings
All the visions, All the tensions
All the thinking, All the make and do
All the wishing, All the hoping
All the crying, You can pass it thru
You can pass it thru, You can break on through
You can plan it too, You can work it thru... You!
You're wasting my time, wasting my time, wasting my time... That is your crime
I'm studying your line, studying your line, studying your line... I won't get a fine
... I follow the rainbow
As far as the wind blows
Avoiding the holes
One can walk to the poles
All the visions, All the tensions
All the thinking, All the make and do
All the wishing, All the hoping
All the crying, You can pass it thru
You can pass it thru, You can break on through
You can plan it too, You can work it thru... You!
...The dance cicada, The ants at work
While the rat races, I do the Jerk! ...
Someday I'll know, someday I'll know, someday I'll know... I'll get on your Top
Someday you'll blow, someday you'll blow, someday you'll blow...
And your head will Pop
... Follow that rainbow
As far as the wind blows
Avoiding the holes
One can walk to the poles
...You can pass it thru, You can break on through
You can plan it too, You can work it thru
You can pass it thru, You can break on through... You!
