Don't know what the world is gonna do
Or if we can get off now
the road that we're on
There's hate in my brother's eye
and as the time goes by
I get harder
They say we learn by our mistakes
and then we carry on
Sometimes I'm not sure
sometimes I'm not sure
There's no brakes on this car
as it rolls down the hill
My muscles are straining now,
my foot's through the floor
Perhaps that's why, perhaps that's why
I see the dolphin and it makes me cry
As I look in your eye as I look in your eye
As the time goes by, it makes me cry
Don't want to go to school anymore today
Coz history keeps on and on
repeating herself
She can't forgive she just licks all of her wounds
And sore is the day
and sore is the night
Perhaps that's why, perhaps that's why
I see the dolphin and it makes me cry
As I look in your eye as I look in your eye
As the time goes by, it makes me cry
When I was a boy when I was growing up
I remember life was so simple then,
life was so sweet
Now that I'm older I am wise as a fool
I keep on breaking
those golden, golden rules
And perhaps that's why, perhaps that's why
I see the dolphin and it makes me cry
As I look in your eye as I look in your eye
As the time goes by, it makes me cry
Did you ever touch the loneliness of a broken man
Did you ever see a starving child die
Do we really do these things to one another
Do you see why... dolphins make me cry
