Read the play about wisdom, time and age - and for me new words on every page.
Don’t they say that all the world’s a stage? I’m in my role again. I’m just a stand in.
Hello tedium my old friend. We’ve been together since I don’t know when.
Brought me nothing but bad luck, babe. I want something. I wanna free the world.

Who decides the gender, creed and race? Who decides who gets the pretty face?
Here she comes – the golden girl in case. Here am I again – her blue eyed boy.
I’ve got something to say in my defence cos that’s my forte – past time, past tense.
You brought me nothing but bad luck, babe.
You say “No”. I say “So let’s go free the world.”

Hello tedium, my old friend. We’ll be together, be together ‘til the end.
You brought me nothing but bad luck.
You know that I want, I want, I wanna free the world.
