I'm just a junkyard now   This is my trash   They burnt me down somehow   Flicked me off like a cigarette ash      But time has come today; Time has come today      I've been a patron saint   I've had my mouth washed out   And I've been one big complaint   I turned myself into two separate gorillas?      But time has come today; Time has come to blow our old world away      Pulled in from abilene; found the world was sold   He paid in gold - but his hands were cold   But the man was sharp; man, this cat was cool   So we gave the jewel to a raving fool... YEAH!      They say I'm a big boy now   Come on and stand up straight   Lock up your girls and boys   Soon it will be too late      Time has come today time has come today   Time has come to blow out yesterday   Has come today time has come today   Time has come to blow our old world away      Cardboard people stand in a field made of grass.   Carved from mahogany and jade, they see you and all start to laugh.   The eyes that they live through will roll as they give you the task.      Steeped in a slumber, they tell you your number is one;   And the proper ladies blow smoke from their mouths like a gun.   They smile like the sun - say the race has begun, time to run... RUN!      Cardboard people tell you they'd love you to stay.   When the whores and sailors come it would be best to put lucky away.   You must wait for the sunset; your time hasn't come yet today.      As the sunset loves nimbus and the autumn light   We don't have to live for a fight   We can be one - it can be done!      I must leave here with the morning light   We don't have to live to be right   We can be one - this must be done!      And mommy and dad give a pat on the back but they're thinking:   "If you leave here we'll hate you   If you leave here we'll argue   If you leave here we'll hate you   We love you but we'll hate you if you leave"      Then you're hunkerin' down in mid-town with your brothers   And soon they'll all looking your way   We can survive - Just stay alive      And you think it's a crime but you know that it's time to be leaving   "If you leave here we'll hate you   If you leave here we'll argue   If you leave here we'll hate you   We love you but we'll hate you if you leave"      I'm just an old man now   I EAT YOUR TRASH   I'll make it back somehow   Take off at long last YEAH!      Time has come today   Time has come to blow our old world away   Time has come today   Time has come to blow our old world away      Let's blow our old world away
