This one's fought the trendy set This one's fought the feds This one's fought the people baby And tried to ruin my plans This one's fought the radio This one's fought the press This one's fought the people baby And made my life such a mess Woah... here we go (we gotta go, we gotta go) Woah... here we go This one's fought the little girls This one's fought the boys This one's fought the people baby Told me all their lies Woah... here we go (we gotta go, we gotta go) Woah... here we go (we gotta go, we gotta go) I will press the button And they will go away But don't forget to say your prayers Before I blow them all away, I say Woah... here we go Woah... here we go Woah... here we go (we gotta go, we gotta go) Woah... here we go (we gotta go, we gotta go) Woah... here we go (we gotta go, we gotta go) Woah... here we go (we gotta go, we gotta go) Woah... here we go (we gotta go, we gotta go) Woah... here we go (we gotta go!)

Well I'm hiding my eyes from the morning sun And I keep on working till the work is all done But a voice in my head keeps ticking away As the sweat's hosed down from yet another day Well he works hard And he lives hard And he breaks his back without nothing to gain While the boss man sits around and drinks champagne All day In life, there's just one transition All day In life, there's just one decision Well I'm peeling the blisters off my working hand Is that what it takes to make you understand? That it's something you read, not something you meant To be slaving away without a shred of integrity Well he worked hard And he lived hard And he broke his back without nothing to say While the man in control was just laughing away All day In life, there's just one transition All day In life, there's just one decision Was it something you read? Was it something you meant? Was it something you said? Or was it heaven sent? All day All day All day (You work and you work and you work and...) In life, there's just one transition All day (You work and you work and you work and...) In life, there's just one decision All day (You work and you work and you work and...) In life, there's just one transition All day (You work and you work and you work and...) In life, there's just one decision All day (You work and you work and you work and...) In life, there's just one transition All day (You work and you work and you work and...) In life, there's just one decision All day (You work and you work and you work and...) In life, there's just one transition All day (You work and you work and you work and...) In life, there's just one decision

Well, I live with snakes and lizards And other things that go bump in the night 'Cause to me every day is Halloween I've given up hiding and started to fight I've started to fight Well, any time, any place, anywhere that I go All the people seem to stop and stare They say, "Why are you dressed like it's Halloween? You look so absurd, you look so obscene" Oh, why can't I live a life for me? Why should I take the abuse that's served? Why can't they see they're just like me? It's the same, it's the same in the whole wide world Well, I let their teeny minds think That they're dealing with someone who is over the brink And I dress this way just to keep them at bay 'Cause Halloween is every day It's every day Oh, why can't I live a life for me? Why should I take the abuse that's served? Why can't they see they're just like me? It's the same, it's the same in the whole wide world Oh, why can't I live a life for me? Why should I take the abuse that's served? Why can't they see they're just like me? I'm not the one that's so absurd Why hide it? Why fight it? Hurt feelings, best to stop feeling hurt Denials, reprisals It's the same, it's the same in the whole wide world It's the same, it's the same in the whole wide It's the same, it's the same in the whole wide, oh It's the same, it's the same in the whole wide world It's the same, it's the same in the whole wide world It's the same, it's the same in the whole wide...

Pushed me off the thirteenth floor You watched as my head hit the floor You watched as I rolled round and round You watched as I came tumbling down You watched as I rolled down the stairs You never wished me fare thee well! You watched as I got on my feet I ran towards her and she started to plead, no! Ain't got time for what you feel Ain't got time for what you feel Ain't got time for what you feel Ain't got time for what you feel You did it again, you did it again You did it again and again and again, ho, ho! Far below original sin Far below the state I'm in Far below malicious crimes Far below her for the time Far below, far below Far below is the place you'll go, ho! Ain't got time for what you feel Ain't got time for what you feel Ain't got time for what you feel Ain't got time for what you feel You did it again, you did it again You did it again and again and again, ho, ho! Oh, went through the window, quiet as a mouse No sound was stirring throughout the house I'd heard a noise that made me startle But I kept on walking down the corridor Yes, the corridor, yes, the corridor And there you were with a man once more, no! Ain't got time for what you feel Ain't got time for what you feel Ain't got time for what you feel Ain't got time for what you feel You did it again, you did it again You did it again and again and again You did it again, you did it again You did it again and again and again, ho, ho! Ho, ho! Ho, ho!

Standing round the table Spinning fables And signing autographs Can't you hear them laugh Ha ha ha ha ha In their secrecies They plan their strategies It's called hypocrisy And we believe Mornings They tell me everything That I need to know Or I care to know Well I can visualize The look in your eyes The horror As the plane goes down And the siren sounds We can't believe We can't believe In the east where the bear is dancing In the west where the eagle flies In the middle we stand our ground The forces pull us down down down Tensions on both sides We're paralyzed and victimized We're terrified and petrified Demoralized and mortified Of genocide and suicide And patricide and cyanide We're pacified by every side Force-fed pride and then we die for them We die for them In the east where the bear is dancing In the west where the eagle flies In the middle we stand our ground The forces pull us down down down We believe We believe We believe We believe We believe We believe We believe We believe We believe We believe We believe We believe We believe We believe We believe...
