The Needle's Eye Lyrics - Pieces Of A Man - Gil Scott-heron

A circle spinning faster 

And getting larger all the time 

A whirlpool spelled disaster 

For all the people who don't rhyme 

Him who don't fit through the needle's eye 

Him who just don't understand 

Understand, understand, understand 

A brand new sense of freedom 

A brand new sense of time 

Him may go and stand alone now 

And leave the hate and fear behind 

All the millions spent for killing 

Seems the whole world must be dying 

All the children who go hungry 

How much food we could be buying 

Him who don't fit through the needle's eye 

Him who just don't understand 

Understand, understand, understand 

A brand new sense of freedom 

A brand new sense of time 

Him may go and stand alone now 

And the leave the hate and fear behind 

People wake up every morning 

And simply push their lives aside 

They seem to carry all their feelings 

Crushed and crumbled up inside 

Inside, inside, inside 

Him who don't fit through the needle's eye 

Him who just don't understand 

So I went to see my father 

Many questions on my mind 

But he didn't want to answer me 

God, the whole world must be blind 

Him who don't fit through the needle's eye 

Him may someday go insane 

Insane, insane, insane 

Without a brand new sense of freedom 

A brand new sense of time 

Him may go and stand alone now 

And leave the hate and fear behind, yeah, behind
