Paul Simon can be spooky, sometimes. There Goes Rhymin’ Simon came out in 1973. One song, titled Learn How to Fall, includes this lyric:

Oh and it’s the same old story
Ever since the world began
Everybody got the runs for glory
Nobody stop and scrutinize the plan

On the same album, the song American Tune has these lines:

Still, when I think of the road we’re traveling on
I wonder what’s gone wrong
I can’t help it, I wonder what’s gone wrong

Don’t we all.
