On the sidewalk the people are hustling and bustling
They ain't got no time so
They think on the thing that will fill in the space in
Between birth and death.
Do do do …
On the TV the people are mumbling and grumbling
They ain't got no hope so
They give out the news that the world's got the blues
S.O.S., S.O.S.

In the movies the people are identifying
They ain't got no season
To split for no reason and so they get by
On the great community lie.
Do da do …
On the sidewalk the people are hustling and bustling
They ain't got no time so
They think on the thing that will fill in the space in
Between birth and death, who're they kidding?
Do do do …
