Commonwealth are multiplying
Cloning while they're multiplying
Cornel Wilde ain't multiplying
Cloning while they're multiplying
Don't get up
Don't give up
Every night a splash of mercy descends
First we run, and then we laugh 'til we hide
(Later)
This world is full of the gloom
OR
This world will pull off the gloom
Every night we smash a Mercedes-Benz
First we run, and then we laugh 'til we cry
(Later)
This world is gonna pull through
Health insurance, hip bones flyin'
Health insurance ripoff lyin'
MCA, big bankers buying
FDA, big bankers buying
Incidentally, this band was signed to MCA Records when they recorded this song.
One tan slip
One dance left
Smash mercy to end
Smash a Mercedes-Benz
So a world can fall apart.
This whole damn world could fall apart.
Soul and world
Can fall apart.
This whole damn world
Could fall apart.
The world is gunning for you.
The world is gonna pull through.
This hole in one
Could fall apart
This whole damn world
Could fall apart
This one is gonna fall through
This world is gonna pull through
Wake up guys
Wake up kids
Wake up kids, we got the miners to see
Wake up kids, we got the dreamers desease
We'll get your aspirin
We'll kick your ass in
Your rhythm's way, I'm right behind.
You're in harm's way, I'm right behind.
