ONE MORE TIME
|
Welcome to the realm of repetition;
|
welcome to last year or who know when?Not deja-vu, not premonition -
|
this here's the age of do it againStep on up to bullshit central;
|
same old shit and trod through last week
|
All the poop we were too dumb or lazy to stoop and scoop
|
All the words we were to afraid to speak
|
Come on down you're the next contestant, stake your claim make no investment
|
Just watch the wheel go round and round
|
Cross your fingers now don't think twice,
|
luck is the greatest labour saving device
|
And while we await the roll of the dice, a little theme music might be nice
|
Chorus:One more time, let's hear that song again
|
One more time, I can't remember how it ends
|
Take us back to the part about have and have not, cause and effect
|
How's it go? I forgot, one more time,such a simple refrain about how
|
Ya don't ride the bus if you can't make the change
|
What good is painting with a ruler? And why write the book that you just read?
|
Still it seems convention beats invention -
|
down in the word of "as good as it gets"So here comes something you already know
|
Not hard to guess at what's in storeAnd after all this is gold-radio-
|
"oh yes you've heard this song beforeWhy can't we be nostalgia resistant,
|
and do what's perfect from instant to instant?
|
Why do we always carve it down in stone?
|
Worship our heroes and hate our villains,
|
take any protection from makin decisionsSweet music we all get attached but,
|
seems this record's stuck on a scratchChorus:
|
One more time...such a simple refrain but,no one was listening
|
Won't you play it again?Play it again for all it's worth
|
I can analyse, criticize, demonize, politicize, apologise and rationalise;
|
but can I harmonise?
|
