Artist/Band: Gil Scott-Heron
Lyrics for Song: The Needle's Eye
Lyrics for Album: Pieces Of A Man [1971]



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
