The Needle's Eye

Gil Scott-Heron

    Continues after the ad

    A circle spinning faster
    And getting larger all the time
    A whirlpool spelled disaster
    For all the people who don't rhyme

    Him who don't fit through the needle's eye
    Him who just don't understand
    Understand, understand, understand

    A brand new sense of freedom
    A brand new sense of time
    Him may go and stand alone now
    And leave the hate and fear behind

    All the millions spent for killing
    Seems the whole world must be dying
    All the children who go hungry
    How much food we could be buying

    Continues after the ad

    Him who don't fit through the needle's eye
    Him who just don't understand
    Understand, understand, understand

    A brand new sense of freedom
    A brand new sense of time
    Him may go and stand alone now
    And the leave the hate and fear behind

    People wake up every morning
    And simply push their lives aside
    They seem to carry all their feelings
    Crushed and crumbled up inside
    Inside, inside, inside

    Him who don't fit through the needle's eye
    Him who just don't understand

    So I went to see my father
    Many questions on my mind
    But he didn't want to answer me
    God, the whole world must be blind

    Him who don't fit through the needle's eye
    Him may someday go insane
    Insane, insane, insane

    Without a brand new sense of freedom
    A brand new sense of time
    Him may go and stand alone now
    And leave the hate and fear behind, yeah, behind
