lyrics

try to understand what our songs mean,
sunday afternoons in the park at three:
festival tie dye, complete with beads.
i will lay down rhythm, you always play lead.
we sing fifth and sixth folk-style harmonies;
we still sing like we mean it.

oh, oh, jerry:
i am sick at heart,
but i am ready.

we still sing all of our old protest songs,
but the war is lost and the war is gone;
besides, no one cares about wars anymore.
for 37 years i have played the part,
i have stood back up on stage
as you belted out your heart.
and i've loved you from the start.

oh, oh, jerry:
i am sick at heart,
but i am ready.

try to understand what our songs mean,
tuesday afternoons at your house at three:
i'm tired of singing, i wanna live instead.
i could find a place in this world for you and me,
find a rented bungalow that is nestled by the sea:
we'll smash our guitars over our left knees.

oh, oh, jerry:
i am sick at heart,
but i am ready
oh, oh, jerry:
i am sick at heart,
but i am ready.
