de Tom Chapin

The rock is gonna fall on us, he woke with a start
And he ran to his mother, the fear dark in his heart
And he told her of the vision that he was sure he'd seen
She said: "go back to sleep son, you're having a bad dream!"


Silly child--

You know that rock's been perched up there for a hundred thousand years


"the rock is gonna fall on us." he told the magistrates
"i believe that we can stop it but the time is getting late
You see i've done all the research my plans are all complete."

Just a madman--
Everybody knows the rock leans over the town
Everybody knows that it won't tumble to the ground
Everybody knows of those who say the end is near
Everybody knows that life goes on as usual round here

They knew he was insane so they left him alone
He'd given up enlisting help for there was no one else
He spent his days devising ways to stop the rock himself
One night while he was working building brace
