By Design

Who gives you the sun and then blinds you

Who asks you to swim and then binds you

Whose side are you on any how


Who gives you rain without water

Who makes you ashamed when there’s no cover

Whose side are you on any how


And is it by design that the time keeps going round

And is it by design that the time keeps going round


Who let you dream and then woke you

Who begged you to sing and then choked you.

Whose side are you on any how


And is it by design that the time keeps going round


Who makes you shy and the strips you

Then gives you a coat that doesn’t fit you

Whose side are you on any how


Who put you on your knees but never wed you

Then told you to follow but never led you

Whose side are you on any how


And is it by design that the time keeps going round

And is it by design that the time keeps going round

And is it by design that the time keeps going round

And is it by design that the time keeps rolling on
