Lyrics Can't Go On This Way - Van Morrison

Can't go out dancin'
Can't find no joy
We can't go on holidays
Can't stay abroad
Klaus is the wizard
Gates is playin' God
Can't go on this way
It's just not on

Government keeps lyin'
Everyone is just sad
Don't know what to do
About the common cold in the head
There's a funny feelin' that
Life is just driftin' away
No one's bold enough to say no
It can't go on this way, because

We can't go out dancin'
Can't find no joy
Can't go on holidays
Can't go abroad
Klaus is the wizard
Gates is playin' God
If you're gonna go to sleep
They keep on playin' the fraud

Feelin' life is driftin'
Just driftin' away
Can't even be just
King for a day
What's the point of goin'
Goin' on this way?
Everyone is just driftin' and driftin'
From day to day

Some people think it's funny
Some are just actin' strange, yeah
Look at who's makin' the money
Behind this cage
Government keeps on lyin'
Everyone is just sad
But not sad enough
To start gettin' mad

Can't go out dancin'
Can't find no joy
Can't go on holidays
Can't stay abroad
Klaus is the wizard
Gates is playin' God
No one's bold enough
To stand up to it all

Feelin' like I'm driftin', I'm driftin' away
Away, away, away, away
Can't even be king or queen
King or queen for a day
What's the point of goin'
Goin' on this way? Oh!
Everyone is just slippin', driftin'
Slippin', driftin' away

Some people think it's funny
Some are just actin' strange
Who's makin' the money
Behind this cage?
Government just keeps on lyin'
Everyone is so sad
But not sad enough
Keep gettin' mad, oh!

Can't go out dancin'
Can't find any joy
Can't go on holidays
Can't go abroad
Klaus is the wizard
Gates is playin' God
Can't go on this way
It's just not on, say it again

Can't go on this way
It's just not on, oh!
Can't go on this way
Baby, it's just not on, oh!
Can't go on this way
It's just not on, not on
