I don't believe in the summertime and the hope it brings me,
come New Year's Eve resolutions cup is just overflowing,
all I can see is a hallway rigged up with motion sensors,
cover me please with reflective sheeting for my protection,

There's just another way
And I knew just what you'd say

They say love is blind unless it's eyes are staring directly at you,
all in good time market forces seem to force the issue,
so well defined how society puts us in our places,
now we all smile like machines but just with human faces,

There's just another way
And I knew just what you'd say,

Because now I'm taking things too hard,
but that's the way it goes,
everybody's cultured remarks are getting up my nose,
you say you'd like a brand new start,
I'll give you one of those,
take a look inside my pitch black heart,
and tell me when it froze,

Now I can't see anything but your lies,
I burn't all my day dreams,
Just in time,
I don't owe you anything,
for being alive,
God knows he's forgiving,
In the summertime
