Once In A Lifetime':
And
you may find yourself
Letting
the days go by, let the water hold me down
And
you may ask yourself
Letting
the days go by, let the water hold me down
Same
as it ever was
Water
dissolving and water removing
Letting
the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting
the days go by, let the water hold me down
And
you may ask yourself
Letting
the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting
the days go by, let the water hold me down
Same
as it ever was
Letting
the days go by (same as it ever was)
NOT The Talking Heads: 'One Is Too Many!'
And you may find yourself obsessed with Dump, giving us the equivalent of a doggy leg hump A lot of action, but accomplishing zero Reality's burning, but just fiddling from Nero And you may find yourself just along for the ride, with drunk Uncle Dumper as you're driver and guide Too scared to jump out, yet too scared to go on Just praying that somehow, the gas will soon be gone 'cause that's the only way this f****r's gonna stop Oh, please, where the hell's a cop?
Let us survive somehow, the clock is running down Let us survive somehow, his lies the only sound Into reality again, after all his latest s**t One is too many, give us someone who is fit
How did drunk Uncle Dump end up driving? And you may soon be asking, how about surviving? This has got to be a joke, surely? Who's Shirley, and hope he resigns prematurely Head's exploding from all the crazy tweets Oh God, here comes more, the insanity repeats Under his thumb, and squirming to break free 'Uncle Dumper, I'm afraid of what's to be!
Let us survive somehow, the clock is running down Let us survive somehow, his lies the only sound Into reality again, after all his latest s**t One is too many, give us someone who is fit
Insane
as it has become
Time
isn't the friend to us
And you may ask yourself "what's happened to the white house?" and you may tell yourself, "S**t, we're governed by Mickey Mouse!"
Let us survive somehow, the clock is running down Let us survive somehow, his lies the only sound Into reality again, after all his latest s**t One is too many, give us someone who is fit
Let us survive somehow, the clock is running down Let us survive somehow, his lies the only sound Into reality again, after all his latest s**t Once is too many, give us someone who is fit
And you may ask the nation, "what the f***?" Now, to survive, "We'll need some luck!" And you may ask yourself "what's happened to the white house?" and you may tell yourself, "S**t, he governs so Mickey Mouse!" And you may give into despair And you may be thinking 'buyer beware!'
Insane
as it has become
Time
isn't the friend to us Another day goes by go by (same as it has become)
Another
day goes
by (same as it has
become)
