Well come on everybody it is time we were going
I've got a whole lot of loving and it's suddenly growing
I get up, I go out, I come in, roundabout
After that ain't no doubt
You can never skin a rabbit when he's off and running
(In other words)
He's so cunning
I say love what you doing if you don't mind me asking
You either lead me to ruin or leading me in passing
Either way I propose with a ring I suppose
After that heaven knows
No matter how you go about it
It's the same old story
(In other words)
Love and glory
(In other words)
Same old story
(In other words)
Love no glory
Don't mind people eating fast-food
Don't give a damn about the damn cube
Except when a kid of maybe nine demontrates how
You get up, go to school
Pay attention to rules
If you're smart don't be cruel
You can never for what ever reason
Move a mountain
(In other words)
Just go around them
(In other words)
Move a mountain
(In other words)
Just go round them
Don't mind people eating fast-food
Don't give a damn about the damn cube
Well come on everybody it is time we were going
I said I love what you're ruin but I can't what you're growing
I get up, I go out, I come in, roundabout
After that ain't no doubt
You can never skin a rabbit when he's off and running
(In other words)
He's so cunning
(In other words)
Same old story
(In other words)
Love and glory
