Album Version

Doesn't it bring you down So many lights and sounds Call your mom on the telephone Tell her you're coming home Tell her there's not a chance You're ever gonna change the world If you want to be free take a sip of this tea Join the Red Oyster Cult If you drink the whole cup you will never grow up You will never grow old Remember when you were 14 You'd paint every picture so green Call your mom on the telephone Tell her your muse is gone Tell her there is not a chance Your're ever gonna change the world Just a few drops away you'll never want to change the world If you want to be free take a sip of this tea Join the Red Oyster Cult If you drink the whole cup you will never grow up You will never grow old Call your mom on the telephone Tell her you're coming home Tell her there's not a chance you're ever gonna change the world Just a few drops away You'll never have to change
