Well I saw it clear today that we were all more than  only  refugees
        
And the heads of state called out all of their reserves
                                  
So they could postpone World War III
                                                               
I can hear the morning crier yellin read all about it  here's the
truth
                                                       
You are either just the newspaper boy or you're either Babe Ruth
   
Now how could we have been  put upon this planet
                                    
Fools enough to think that we could be
                                                               
The first to form a civilized envolvement from the charismatic sea

There's a ten year old in the alley
                                            
Throws a hard ball off the wall that is the truth
                                                               
He knows you're either just the newspaper boy or you're either Babe
Ruth

The home run king

SOLO

   
We can all dream up some explicit rationalized dream
                  
Of exactly who we are

While the rockin rolling home run king
                                        
Keeps the black madonna sleepin with a star

Now it doesn't matter how much bread you can spend
                            
So you can hold the center booth
                                                       
You are either just the newspaper boy or you're either Babe Ruth
