What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I was raised up believing I was somehow unique
2
Like a snowflake distinct among snowflakes, unique in each way you can see
3
And now after some thinking, I'd say I'd rather be
4
A functioning cog in some great machinery serving something beyond me
5
But I don't, I don't know what that will be
6
I'll get back to you someday soon you will see
7
What's my name, what's my station, oh, just tell me what I should do
8
I don't need to be kind to the armies of night that would do such injustice to you
9
Or bow down and be grateful and say "Sure, take all that you see,"
10
To the men who move only in dimly-lit halls and determine my future for me
11
And I don't, I don't know who to believe
12
I'll get back to you someday soon you will see
13
If I know only one thing, it's that everything that I see
14
Of the world outside is so inconceivable often I barely can speak
15
Yeah I'm tongue-tied and dizzy and I can't keep it to myself
16
What good is it to sing helplessness blues, why should I wait for anyone else?
17
And I know, I know you will keep me on the shelf
18
I'll come back to you someday soon myself
19
If I had an orchard, I'd work 'til I'm raw
20
If I had an orchard, I'd work 'til I'm sore
21
And you would wait tables and soon run the store
22
Gold hair in the sunlight, my light in the dawn
23
If I had an orchard, I'd work 'til I'm sore
24
If I had an orchard, I'd work 'til I'm sore
25
Someday I'll be like the man on the screen
