Reasonable Man
I went in search of a reasonable man
The one I’d read about in books, I drew me up a plan
Said I’d like to meet him on a corner if I can
then we could take either road, depending upon where we stand
I went in search of a reasonable man
And I thought oh, it must be lonely, to be the only voice of reason
The sky once so rosy, now I hear a rumbling sound
In silence drinking coffee for a reasonable time
He said ‘you’re looking pretty’ I said ‘you’re looking at your prime
Contender for the future, will you be mine?’
But his straight-laced face it all folded up
Took that ‘it’s not so simple’ line
And I said oh, it must be lonely, to be the only voice of reason
The sky, once so rosy, now my world is crumbling down
And I said we need more, reasonable man
And I said you’re selling us short, reasonable man
And I said where’s your heart, reasonable man
‘Cause when the going gets tough, where are you going, reasonable man?
