Groping Hands Lyrics by Roger Miller (Rock)

The Big Industry

0

[Verse 1]
He followed all the mottos
The posters on the walls
They told him how to dress and look
And where to go this fall
But out of his gaping dreams
A catastrophe inside
Came pouring out of, and whirled about
The hole that was inside
[Chorus]
And where was the proper man?
And who was this proper man
Who had sacrificed his person
To yield to society's demands?
[Verse 2]
Out of his gaping dreams
Out of his gaping dreams
The government controlled him a little
And the companies a little more
The rules of social conduct
And the products at thе store
[Chorus]
And where was thе proper man?
And who was this proper man
Who had sacrificed his person
To yield to society’s demands?
[Verse 3]
They say it's okay for children
To play with Lincoln Logs
And build things out of clay which don't exist
And talk aloud to dogs
Yet out of his gaping dreams
Out of his gaping dreams
A hole to the magic world
Came right out of his gaping dreams
[Chorus]
And where was the proper man?
And who was this proper man
Who had sacrificed his person to yield
To society’s demands?
[Verse 4]
When out came his groping hands
Out came his groping hands
And out came his groping hands
[Chorus]
And where was the proper man?
And who was this proper man
Who had abandoned civilization
At the grip of his groping hands
Groping hands
Groping hands
Groping hands
Groping hands
Groping hands
[Verse 5]
When out came his groping hands
Out came his groping hands
And out came his groping hands
[Chorus]
And where was the proper man?
And who was this proper man
Who had abandoned civilization
At the grip of his groping hands?
Groping hands
Groping hands
Groping hands
Groping hands
Groping hands
Groping hands
Groping hands
Groping hands
