Well, I confess I had myself a good laugh
Remembering times of my provincial naive
When I was ready to break horns of all the cows
Just to establish myself as non-conforming

Well, time has passed
And I looked back with a different eye
And I thought it's time to
Reenlist with wonder-why-guy

I reached-a for a pen
To sign a peace treaty
But suddenly got up
And took to running wild

Against the nature, against the grain
For as long and as far as you can
For only there lays entertainment
For a heart of merry-lasting man

Uh huh, of merry-lasting man
Uh huh, merry-lasting man
Uh huh, of merry-lasting man
Uh huh

What do you do my friend when you are done with
Investigating bounds of reality?
Creating hundreds of amendments
For issuing of commandments
Ready to shoot yourself out of curiosity
But wait, there is a way
Ain't nothing new to say, however

Against the nature, against the grain
Run as long and as far as you can
For only there lays entertainment
For a heart of merry-lasting man

Uh huh, of merry-lasting man
Uh huh, of merry-lasting man
Uh huh, of merry-lasting man
Uh huh

I wake up in a night, turn on my lamp
Should contemplate direction of my vector
When I find small parcel from the Lord
Fruit basket sprinkled with nectars

And there I sit, my legs are strong
All quiet, only voices dining fearsome
I shove a piece of garlic down my throat
Come on, hop down the stairs, come on
You're all eternal falls of reason

Against the nature, against the grain
For as long and as far as you can
For only there lies entertainment
For a heart of merry-lasting man
Uh huh, of merry-lasting man
Uh huh, of merry-lasting man
Uh huh, of merry-lasting man
Uh huh
