With the world mired in chaos and confusion, the mind seeks freedom from needless anxiety. As expressed by The Eagles in "Take It Easy," "Don't let the sound of your own wheels/Drive you crazy."
It's those changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
With all of our running and all of our cunning
If we couldn't laugh, we would all go insane
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go 'round and 'round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough ...
Oh, I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
And any time you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder
I used to worry about the future
But then I threw my caution to the wind
I had no reason to be carefree
No, no, no, until I took a trip to the other side of town
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know I heard that boogie rhythm
Hey, I had no choice but to get down, down, down, down
