one man can make a lot of waves 

another man will get a lot of surf 

on the other side of the planet 

a little boy with earphones on 

and a big smile on his face 

on the wrong side of the planet 

starts shaking with the music 

but can he really dig it 

will little stompin' feet ever regret it 

i don't know 

sometimes you win 

sometimes you lose 

and if you pick what others choose 

you're gonna sing the blues 



but you're gonna find 

a better place and a meaning 

some other time 

i'm sure you'll find the feeling 

let go of your mind 

sometimes you need to lose control 

you gotta go down and 

take a fall 



now there's a man who's blind as a bat 

he doesn't care, he knows where it's at 

on the other side of the planet 

he's singing with sunglasses on 

and a big smile on his face 

not on the wrong side of the planet 



he starts shaking with the music 

and you can really dig it 

nobody's going to regret it 

oh i know 

sometimes you win 

somtimes you lose 

and if you pick what 

others choose 

you'll sing the blues 



but you're gonna find 

a better place and a meaning 

some other time 

i'm sure you'll find the feeling 

let go of your mind 

sometimes you need to lose control 

you gotta go down 

and take a fall
