lyrics

All I know is that the days are long
And all I know is that the nights go on, and on, and on
And all I know is that time will fly
And the years will pass me by

Well I don't care what they say
'cause it's just Maya anyway
No I don't care what they say
'cause it's just Maya at the end of the day

So take your books, knowledge of old
Believe everything you were told
Prize your possessions, hold your gold
Repeat the things that you were told when you were young

And all I know is that I’ve had my fill
I’ve had enough of feelings, I’ve swallowed every pill
And every book upon my shelf
Is just words until I see it for myself

If we’re just actors and life’s a play
Then it’s just Maya getting in our way
The outside world leads us astray
And it’s just Maya at the end of the day

So take your books, knowledge of old
Believe everything you were told
Prize your possessions, hold all your gold
Repeat the things that you were told when you were young
Young, young, young, young

No I don't care what they say
'cause it's just Maya anyway
No I don't care what they say
'cause it's just Maya at the end of the day
