Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Wear your--[flubs the line]
(Was that like, "Lay your weary head to rest"? [?], yeah)
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
Go!
Ahhh...
[Verse 1]
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher
But I flew too high
Though my eyes could see, I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think, I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
I can hear them say
[Chorus]
Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
[Verse 2]
Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man
It surely means that I don't know
On the stormy seas of moving emotion
Tossed about, I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune
I can hear them say
[Chorus]
Carry on my wayward son
Get the hell off the couch and get a goddamn job!
Get your ass out the door
Don't you cry no more
Go!
Alright!
Alright, go!
[Bridge]
Carry on!
You will always remember
Carry on!
Nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
Surely something waits for you
[Chorus]
Carry on my wayward, unemployed son
Get the sh-- off the couch and get a goddamn job!
[Gibberish]
Don't you cry
(Don't you cry no more!) No more!
[Scatting]
No more!
No more!
No more!
Hey!
No!
Euugh!
Ahhh...
Ahhh!
Sheer brilliance!
