C'est Le Bon Lyrics

Supertramp C'est Le Bon

I never knew what a man was supposed to be
I never wanted the responsibility
I still remember what they tried to make of me
They used to wonder why
They couldn't get through to me
'Cause all that I had was this music
A-coming to me
And all I had was this rhythm
A-running through me

I took a tip from the man from the ministry
He said "My son, better work in the factory"
Well there were days I can tell you quite honestly
I saw myself winding up in the military
So lucky to have all this music
A-coming to me
I'm lucky to have all this rhythm
A-running through me
I'm watching the movie go down
Around, about me
I'm watching the merry-go-round
Go down, about me

I said "Lovers, you're needed in the garden
'Cause there's a lot of crazy people
Who've forgotten where their heart is
And they don't give a damn
About hurting those flowers and those trees."
C'est le bon, sailing on and on...

Sometimes I wonder where my life is taking me
Sometimes I wonder what they all expect of me
Well there are days I can tell you quite honestly
I see myself ending up in the monastery

'Cause all that I have is this music
A-coming to me
And all I have is this rhythm
A-running through me
I'm watching the movie go down
Around, about me
I'm watching the merry-go-round
Go down, about me

I said "Lovers, you're needed in the garden
'Cause there's a lot of crazy people
Who've forgotten where their heart is
And they don't give a damn
About hurting that small child in me."
C'est le bon, sailing on and on...
