Hoodoo Gurus - The Mountain Lyrics

Love it or leave it
The choices are few
Where is the magic?
(Wave your wand till your dreams come true)
I'm high on illusion
Like a fool who is truly in love
Whose act of suspension
Only proves there are wires above

Now you can see the ways things are
You can't pretend you're blind
Without a change of mind
You can't have a change of heart

Give me a reason
Or give me a rhyme
One man's high treason
Is another's victimless crime
We say we want justice
To blind and binding on all
But nobody wants it (to be)
On their heads where the sword must fall

Why is everybody laughing at me?
Why is everybody happy but me?

I wait for a mountain
That won't ever come
I feel just like Mohammed
(And perhaps a little bit dumb)
Others go climb it
Ask them why, they reply "'cause it's there!"
But me and my mountain
We're not getting, getting nowhere

Why is everybody laughing at me?
Why is everybody happy but me?
While I was standing here
I got this wild idea
I thought everyone was laughing at me

Now you see the way things are
You can't pretend you're blind
You can't have a change of heart
Without a change of mind
Now you see the way things are
You can't pretend
Pretend that you're blind

Stop talking, start walking
Do something more than moving your mouth
