What Makes It So
David Crosby
They try to tell you
What you can and cannot do
Your place on the path
How much you get to know
And what makes it so?
How do they know?
How can it only be
One way?
And you
You don't like it
You’ve already picked out your move
The road you'd like to ride
Just how deep in the groove
And what makes it so?
How do they know?
How can it only be
One way?
A man stands before you
Telling us all what his great leader said
(And I say)
Where is it written
And how many ways can it be read?
And what makes it so?
How do they know?
How can it only be
One way?
I think for myself
Probably keep it that way
At least for now
At least for today
And what makes it so?
How do they know?
How can it only be
One way?
