What's in a Name?  (The World is Going to Let Me Go)

 

 

I’m looking for an honest man / Someone who might help me out 

Looking for a straight up Joe or Jane 

What’s in a name I don’t know but I intend to find out

 

For right now, I want to know / if the world is going to let me go  

Lately time moves slow / The more I see it seems the less I know  

But for right now I want to know  

If the world is going to let me, oh it might reject me  

If the world is going to let me go

 

I sleep to the news on the radio / it makes me somewhat less afraid  

I take this planet as a whole / least I can do is try and fix up the messes I’ve made

 

But meanwhile, I want to know / if the world is going to let me go  

Time’s coming soon, maybe sooner than it shows/The more I see it seems the less I know  

So for right now, I want to know / If the world is going to let me  

Oh, it might regret me / if the world is going to let me go

 

 

Plug me into something / I’m too wound up to just let go  

You and me in this together / we could start, maybe even stop a goddamn war

 

 

But meanwhile, I want to know / if the world is going to let me go  

Time’s coming soon, maybe sooner than it shows/The more I see it seems the less I know 

So for right now, I want to know / If the world is going to let me 

Oh, it might regret me / if the world is going to let me go
