Carry On Wayward Son Lyrics

[Intro]
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, ha

[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 got 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 the voices say

[Chorus 1]
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 a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about, I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune
But I hear the voices say

[Chorus 2]
Carry on my completely worthless, unemployed son
There'll be peace when you get a goddamn job
Here's my foot, there's the door
Don't you loaf no more, go

[Interlude]
Uh-huh
Alright

[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 somewhere

[Chorus 3]
Carry on my worthless son
Get off the goddamn couch and get a goddamn job
Here's my foot, there's the door
Don't you cry, don't you cry no more

[Post-Chorus]
No more
No more
Aw

[Refrain]
No more
No more
