Look round baby tell me what you say, am I imagining it, is it me
Does the world get faster day by day? you better get a clear head hey
What a shock you better start to pray even the dumb got something to say
Even the blind ain't lookin away but you better get a clear head hey
Ah you better get a clear head hey
I tell you clear head, clear head, clear head, clear head
You better get a clear head hey, you better get one now

Mona lisa wears a frown cause cos everybody's trying to shut her down
They say it's my turn too I want my share but you better get a clear head yeah
On the fault line as the sun rises the only prizes were torture devices
Californians say, have a real nice day but they better get a clear head hey
Yeah they'd better get a clear head hey

I tell you clear head, clear head, clear head, clear head
You better get a clear head hey, you better get one now

Clear head, clear head yeah

Clear head, clear head yeah

Blind half the time, have to be, blind crazy on a shell shocked bay
If you want to get it on this way you'd better get a clear head hey, hey

In days gone by it was a diseased rye
They burned them up and said the answer is god
They talk all night and stayed awake all day they said
You better get a clear head hey
