"The Gong" lyrics

I'm broken-hearted
I can't believe it
My life is endin'
Cut my hair off
Oh!
I walk down the street
I don't feel the same
I'm gettin' mad
Real mad
Ahh, hah-hah!
Ah God, I cut my hair off
I'm real blue

(Pretty far out)

Ahh! Just fall down, my ass!
I asked myself, man, how, how can that happen to you?
I said, I don't know. I really don't know
I, I get up in the mornin' and shucks! I don't know
I just... well, my pappy... wait a minute. I'm blowin' my cool. I don't wanna sound like a hick
Maybe that's my problem– self-destruction. Just tearin' myself apart, I can't live with it anymore
No, wait a minute...
With every new day, there is a new dawn. And with every new dawn, there is a new day
And with every new day, we have another new day. So... you know what that means?
Yes! It means we have a lotta days. A lotta days we can get to know ourselves
As of matter of fact, that's all we'll ever get to know, is just ourselves. Mmm...
I read a book, I can't read
My God. What is "God"? What is, what is "read"?
Read? What was I saying?
That's right. Ladies and gentlemen, I forgot what the hell I came here to talk about
Well... I'm ready to do it. I'm ready to tell everyone everywhere what's happenin'
But actually, I think I'm cluttering up someone's echo chamber at this moment
Here in the Capitol studios in Hollywood, California, I'm, I'm quite famous, you know
But if all of you out there would just for one minute get close
Get close to yourself. Ask yourself, when is the last time you have talked to yourself?
Then really say, 'hey man, what's happenin'? You havin' a good time?'
Well, well if you're havin'a good time, it's a trip to say, 'hey man (he-he-he), aren't you havin' a good time?'
Let me know what. I don't know what
