The Harvest

Lyrics

Planted the seed of an apple one day Now I got a fig leaf to cover my hey Ain't that a way to make a wheel go boy Ain't that a way to make a wheel Planted the truth on a slab of stone Words still there, but the eyesight's gone Ain't that a way to make a wheel go boy Ain't that a way to make a wheel Fed a whole tribe with fish and bread Called him a Commie and left him for dead Ain't that a way to make a wheel go boy Ain't that a way to make a wheel Had a good ship on the Aegean Sea But it sunk in the ocean because the crew wasn't free Ain't that a way to make a wheel go boy Ain't that a way to make a wheel Took a lot of work to build the road to Rome But the men who built it didn't have no home Ain't that a way to make a wheel go boy Ain't that a way to make a wheel Spread the word 'til you have a crusade Steppin' on the graves that the converts made Ain't that a way to make a wheel go boy Ain't that a way to make a wheel Had a revolution gonna set us all free Well it worked for you, but it hasn't for me Ain't that a way to make a wheel go boy Ain't that a way to make a wheel Planted a flower in Chicago Damned if the mother-lovin' flower would grow Ain't that a way to make a wheel go boy Ain't that a way to make a wheel Bought a little island for twenty-four bucks Well it's worth its weight now in garbage trucks Ain't that a way to make a wheel go boy Ain't that a way to make a wheel Planted a mushroom in '45 Ah... Ah... nobody's alive Ain't that a way to make a wheel go boy Ain't that a way to make a wheel
