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
