Supertramp - Child of Vision

Well, who do you think you're fooling?
You say you're having fun
But you're busy going nowhere
Just lying in the sun
You tried to be a hero
And commit the perfect crime
But the dollar got you dancing
And you're running out of time
And you're messing up the water
And you're rolling in the wine
And you're poisoning your body
And you're poisoning your mind
And you gave me Coca-Cola
'Cause you said it tasted good
Then you watch the television
'Cause it tells you that you should

Ooh, how can you live in this way?
(Why do you think it's so strange?)
You must have something to say
(Tell me why should I change?)
There must be more to this life
It's time we did something right
I said "Child of vision, won't you listen?
Find yourself a new ambition"

I've heard it all before
You're saying nothing new
I thought I saw a rainbow
But I guess it wasn't true
And you cannot make me listen
And I cannot make you hear
So you find your way to heaven
And I'll meet you when you're there

How can you live in this way?
(Why do you think it's so strange?)
You must have something to say
(Tell me why should I change?)
We have no reason to fight
'Cause we both know that we're right
I said "Child of vision, won't you listen?
Find yourself a new ambition"
