Lyrics
Lost In The Shuffle
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't wanna hear no more about the P.L.O.
Or the A.F.L. and the C.I.O.
Not the F.B.I. or the A.S.P.C.A.
You know I've had my fill of capitol hill
And the OPEC prices and the oil spills
I've had enough bad news to last me a year today
And I feel I'm lost in the shuffle
And I'm not gonna take it
I feel lost in the shuffle
And I'm not gonna take it no more
Oh no
No, no, no
Lost in the shuffle
Lost in the shuffle
Well I've got no time for the rise in crime
And plutonium leaks and mile-long lines
Of cars backed up just tryin' to buy some gasoline
Well I'm up to here with the cancerous rats
And the test tube babies and bureaucrats
Looks like the whole damn world's
Just comin' apart at the seams
And I feel I'm lost in the shuffle
And I'm not gonna take it
I feel lost in the shuffle
And I'm not gonna take it no more
Oh no
No, no, no
Lost in the shuffle
Lost in the shuffle
You know you pay your taxes and you work all day
But you better watch out for the C.I.A.
'Cause they're putting together a dossier on you
And now I'm glad I'm livin' in the land of the free
Where I can speak my mind if I don't agree
But it seems like it really doesn't matter
What I say or do
'Cause I feel I'm lost in the shuffle
And I'm not gonna take it
And I feel lost in the shuffle
And I'm not gonna take it no more
Oh no
No, no, no
Lost in the shuffle
Lost in the shuffle
Lost in the shuffle
