Down with the shine, the perfect shine
|
That poisons the well and ruins my mind.
|
Oh, I get took for a ride every time.
|
Down with the glistening shine.
|
|
It's in with the new and out with the old.
|
Out goes the warm and in comes the cold.
|
It's the most predictable story told.
|
It's in with the young and it's out with the old.
|
|
Down with the shine, the perfect shine
|
That poisons the well and ruins my mind.
|
I get took for a ride every time.
|
Down with the glistening shine.
|
|
A belly full of high dollar wine.
|
A fat hand and a fat wallet, too.
|
Things change and get strange with this movement of time.
|
It's happening, right now to you.
|
Down with the shine, the perfect shine
|
That poisons the well and ruins my mind.
|
I get took for a ride every time.
|
Down with the glistening shine.
|
|
It's a real bad time to bring up the truth.
|
Though we've searched, we've found no fountain of youth.
|
Not in Spain, no where near, not anywhere close to here.
|
|
Oh, there's nothing good, because nothing lasts.
|
And all that comes, it comes here to pass.
|
I voice my pain, but the change will not last.
|
All that comes, it comes here to pass.
|
|
Down with the shine, the perfect shine
|
That poisons the well and ruins my mind.
|
I get took for a ride every time.
|
Down with the glistening shine.
|
|
I get took for a ride every time.
|
Down with the glistening shine.
|
|
Down with the glistening shine.
|
|
Down with the glistening shine.
|
|
Down with the glistening shine.
