The Seeker (1970) by The Who

The Seeker (Song)

performed by The Who

March 21, 1970
 
I've looked under chairs 
I've looked under tables 
I've tried to find the key 
To fifty million fables 
 
chorus: 
They call me The Seeker 
I've been searching low and high 
I won't get to get what I'm after 
Till the day I die 
 
I asked Bobby Dylan 
I asked The Beatles 
I asked Timothy Leary 
But he couldn't help me either 
 
chorus 
 
People tend to hate me 
'Cause I never smile 
As I ransack their homes 
They want to shake my hand 
 
Focusing on nowhere 
Investigating miles 
I'm a seeker 
I'm a really desperate man 
 
I won't get to get what I'm after 
Till the day I die 
 
I learned how to raise my voice in anger 
Yeah, but look at my face, ain't this a smile? 
I'm happy when life's good 
And when it's bad I cry 
I've got values but I don't know how or why 
 
I'm looking for me 
You're looking for you 
We're looking in at each other 
And we don't know what to do
