Kinks - Arthur Lyrics
Arthur was born just a plain simple manIn a plain simple working class positionThough the world was hard and its ways were setHe was young and he had so much ambitionAll the way he was overtakenBy the people who make the big decisionsBut he tried and he tried for a better lifeAnd a way to improve his own conditionIf only life were easy it would be such funThings would be more equal and be plenty for everyoneArthur the worlds gone and passed you byDont you know it, dont you know itYou can cry, cry all night but it wont make it rightDont ya know it, dont ya know itArthur we know and we sympathizeDont ya know it, dont ya know itArthur we like you and want to help youSomebody loves you dont you know itHow is your life and your shangri-laAnd your long lost land of hallelujahAnd your hope and glory has passed you byCant you see what the world is doing to yaAnd now we see your childrenSailing off in the setting sunTo a new horizonWhere theres plenty for everyoneArthur, could beThat the world was wrongDont ya know it, dont ya know itArthur, could beYou were right all alongDont ya know it, I hope ya know itNow we know and we sympathizeWed like to help you and understand youDont ya know it, dont ya know itSomebody loves you, dont ya know itDont ya know it, dont ya know itArthur the worlds gone and passed you byDont ya know it, dont ya know itYou can cry, cry all nightBut it wont make it rightDont ya know it, dont ya know itArthur we read you and understand youArthur we like you and want to help youOh! we love you and want to help you
