We’re Turning Again [Live At The Palladium - 10/31/81 - Show 1]

Lyrics

[Chorus] Turn and turn Turn and turn We're turning again Turn and turn Turn and turn We're turning again [Verse 1] We're so young and happy And we know where it's at (It's over there, over there) (Over there, over there) (And under here also) We're never wrong about nothing And we looked good We're never ever have to worry We were always in a hurry To convince ourselvеs that what we are Is really vеry groovy If we believed what's in the papers And the magazines that defined our folklore We can never laugh At who or what we think we are Or even what we think we sorta oughta be We are totally empty And our lives are really useless So what the fuck? We ain't got no sense of humor We got nothing left to laugh about Including ourselves [Chorus] Turn and turn Turn and turn We're turning again Turn and turn Turn and turn We're turning again [Verse 2] They were mellow They were yellow They were wearing smelly blankets They were Donovan fans (Er-er, dee-ee, er-er, dee-ee) They walked around with stupid flowers In their hair and everywhere They tried to stuff 'em in the guns Of all the cops and other servants of the law Who tried to push 'em around And later mowed 'em down But they were full of all that shit That they believed in So what the fuck? (What the fuck?) They were tightened up their headbands On the weekend, they get loaded When they came to town They walked around in Greenwich Village To buy posters they could hang up In their smelly little secret Black light bedrooms On Long Island screamin', "Jimi, come back!" Come back and regulate my fuzz-tone Your haze was so purple And your axis was bold as love Jimi feedback Come back and feed back on my knapsack You can feed back the fuzz tone from your wah-wah While you bend down And set your stuff on fire [Chorus] Turn and turn Turn and turn We're turning again Turn and turn Turn and turn We're turning again [Verse 3] We can turn it around We can go back in time We can do it all again Through the canyons of your mind On the eve of destruction We can act like we are Something really special We can get in the bath-tub With that other guy, Jim And make him be more careful We can visit Big Mama And wrap her on the back When she eats her sandwich (La la la la) We can take care of Janis When she gets so depressed She can't take it no more We can laugh at Keith Moon's jokes (Ha ha ha ha ha) And the color TV (Ha ha) He threw out the window From the second floor Everybody come back No one can do it like you used to If you listen to the radio And what they play today You can tell right away: All those assholes really need you! [Chorus] Turn and turn Turn and turn We're turning again Turn and turn Turn and turn We're turning again [Chorus] Turn and turn Turn and turn We're turning again Turn and turn Turn and turn We're turning again
