Isolation
Yoko Ono · Other Songs - Yoko Ono
Don't they know we're so afraid?
Isolation.
We're afraid to be alone,
Ev'rybody got to have a home.
Isolation.
Just a boy and a little girl,
Tryin' to change the whole wide world.
Isolation.
The world is just a little town,
Ev'rybody tryin' to put us down.
I-hi-hi,
I-hi-hi-hi-solation!
I don't expect you to understand,
After you've caused so much pain.
But then again, you're not to blame,
You're just a human, a victim of the insane.
We're afraid of ev'ryone,
Afraid of the sun.
Isolation.
The sun will never disappear,
But the world may not have many years.
I-hi-hi,
I-hi-hi-hi-solation!
