Back in my schooldays, acting the fool days
|
One and one and one is three
|
And the man said, "Hey, come and cut yourself a piece of the big time"
|
Armor-clad forces, riding Trojan horses
|
Never made sense to me
|
I didn't want to be a part of the great debate on moonshine
|
|
Chorus:
|
"Stop, pay the price," they said to me
|
"Take this advice, you're out of your head"
|
I said, "Stop, hold the phone
|
This has to be cut to the bone
|
Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red"
|
|
Sly man stumbles, twists and he tumbles
|
He always lands on his feet
|
And he sets his face towards the far horizon
|
Won't you come this way? Can't you go that way?
|
But his rhythm don't miss a beat
|
'Cause he's doing everything he can to keep surviving
|
|
"Stop, pay the price," they said to me
|
"Take this advice, you're out of your head"
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
So who wants a riot? People should be quiet
|
Don't we give them good TV?
|
You can learn to love your lifetime of distraction
|
Nothing on the inside, nothing on the outside
|
All the way from A to Z
|
I can live without that kind of satisfaction
|
|
(Chorus four times)
|
