Paroles:
By Joe Walsh and Richard Starkey
WHEN I WOKE UP THIS MORNING,
MUCH TO MY SURPRISE,
THE SUN WAS GOING DOWN
AND I WAS STILL ALIVE
I LOOKED INTO THE MIRROR
AND ACCORDING TO MY EYES,
THE MARTIANS HAVE INVADED,
IT'S HOPELESS
I WENT TO SEE MY DOCTOR
TO ASK HIM WHAT TO DO
DEPENDING ON THE DIAGNOSIS
I SAID, "DOC, I'M SEEING DOUBLE,
AND HOW ARE BOTH OF YOU?"
NO CAUSE FOR ALARM, IT'S HOPELESS
YOU DON'T STAND A CHANCE, IT'S HOPELESS
EV'RYBODY DANCE!
WELL, THERE'S PARADISE AND DOOMSDAY,
IT DEPENDS ON WHICH COMES FIRST
THERE'S INNER PEACE THROUGH MEDITATION
THERE'S OPTIMISTS AND PESSIMISTS,
I DON'T KNOW WHICH IS WORSE,
BUT THE YOGI MOW MOW, BUT THE YOGI MOW MOW,
IT'S HOPELESS
THE SOLUTION HAS BEEN DISSOLVED,
THE CRISIS HAS BEEN RESOLVED
THERE'S NO NEED TO CHANGE YOUR PLANS,
IT'S A HOPELESS SITUATION
FOR TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY,
AND EV'RYTHING WILL BE OKAY
AND BY THE WAY, IT'S HOPELESS
(Hopeless)
