I know I owe you a better time Than the way that I've been But something's messing with my mind And it's not giving in They say that I should want to be A man who leads us all But every time I look I see Another leader fall So I'm gonna sit in the green field And fly a big red kite I'm gonna set my mind up a string And I'm gonna get it right They say that I should want to have A big bank account What Uncle Sam don't take from me Man, I don't need to count So I'm gonna sit in the green field And fly a big red kite I'm gonna set my mind up a string And Lord, I've got to get it right They say that I should want to stand For what I don't believe I'm sitting thinking to myself What kind of man could leave Yes, I'm gonna sit in the green field And fly a big red kite I'm gonna set my mind up a string And I'm gonna get it right Yes, I'm gonna sit in the green field And fly a big red kite I'm gonna set my mind up a string And Lord, I've got to get it right I'm gonna sit in the green field And fly a big red kite I'm gonna sit in the green field And fly a big red kite
