Lyrics:

The Other Side Part I
--Gil Scot Heron

Sometimes I feel like Im just wasting time
Looking for another side

Sometime I feel like Im losing my mind cause there aint
No other side

Sometimes Im just spinning my wheels, aint no big deal
Morning, theres another side

Sometimes I feel like Im just standing in place, aint no real race
Aint no other side

Life is like a circle and you end up where you started
If you end up where you started aint no other side

Yeah, but if life is like a curtain that Im 90% certain that Im looking through at something
Yes, Im almost touching something on the other side

Yeah, the opposite of new is old
The opposite of young is old
Seems like everything has got another side
Yeah, but young ones want to be old ones
Old ones know what they would do if they was young ones
People aint never really satisfied
People aint never satisfied

If life is like a mirror then the nearer you get clearer
You can see it so much clearer
Feel like you know about the other side

My friends all swear that they know

What I should do with my life
How I should run my life
What should be happening with my life
Theyre on the other side

Theyre on the outside
Im on the inside

Things always look so much better on the other side
Four Oclock in the morning
They dont know
All the things I been needing
They dont know
Breaking out in a sweat
And they dont know

Feeling down
And they dont know
They dont know the other side

I need to go home
Momma could change it
Daddy could help me
Yes, I could go home

Yeah, Momma dont need to see me this way
Know me this way
Touch me this way
Love me this way
Find me this way
I cant go home

Im saying
I dont want to call him
I dont want to know him
I dont want to need him
I dont want to feel it
I dont want to know

But I know, know know

Hey, home
So I say tomorrow
Tomorrow (repeat)
Im going home
Tomorrow aint coming
Tomorrow will always where it was
Tomorrow (repeat)
I need to go home
Maybe I could start all over at home
Without the whispers

Hanging on me
Pulling on me, rolling with me
Pulling on me

Yes, Id like to go home
Without the whispers
