Lyrics

Over and Over

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.

People talkin 'bout solutions, over and over

'Bout how we need a revolution, over and over

I was talking 'bout ecology, over and over

'Bout how we'll be saved by technology, over and over

While the cat next door spends all his time

Trying to think up new antisocial crimes

I said no, I said hang on a minute now

I set let me outta here

I said no, no, no

People talking revolution, over and over

About a mass execution, over and over

Well I was working in a factory, over and over

Just trying to make it satisfactory, over and over

But all these inclinations toward manic frustration

I want my vaccination against castration

Vietnam, what a sexy war

Uncle Sam's a pimp, wants us to be whores,

I said no, I said I can't take much more of this

You better let me outta here

I said no, no, no

Oh you see I need a release for my frustration

Oh don't you see I can't hold my aggravation

Oh...no, no, no, no

I see people dyin', over and over

Why don't I sit around crying, over and over

I see people taking, over and over

Why don't I sit around waiting, over and over

The cop on the street wants us down on our needs

The president says we've got to have peace

The other cat says we need our liberation

The hippies telling us we're in the love generation

I said whoa, I said hang on a minute now

This can't go on much longer

I said no, no, no

Over and over, over and over

Over and over, over and over
