Lyrics

Moody Richard, he was always hangin' round
Moody Richard, was the biggest square in town
Moody Richard, he was always on the scene
But his presence never really meant a thing
He was an innocent bystander
Watching his time go by
Mister Innocent Bystander
Doesn't your time fly by?
Moody Richard, never had a thing to say
But his silence didn't matter anyway
And his problem was an easy one to solve
Moody Richard never really got involved
He was an innocent bystander
Watching his time go by
Mister Innocent Bystander
Doesn't your time fly by?
But he's guilty of one crime
Must he ruin your life and mine?
For he's always standing by
In the corner of your eye
Yes, he's guilty! Guilty!
Just an innocent bystander
Watching his time go by
Mister Innocent Bystander
Doesn't your time fly by?
Just an innocent bystander
Watching his time go by
Mister Innocent Bystander
Doesn't your time fly by?
