Every Trick In The Book
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.
Well every trick in the book that you want to play
You better have a good answer to get your way
'Cause all the tricks that you pulled, and all the people youfooled
Well you started something
Well all the people that liked you just went on home
And when they could've stood by you, you stood alone
'Cause all the people you fooled and all the people you took
Well you started something
And all the signs in your head call out you're dead
But all the preachers went home and left you alone
And all the women that liked you, you fooled around
And when you got them inside you, you turned them down
'Cause all the women you fooled, and all the women you took
Well you started something
And all the lines in your head call out you're dead
And all the teachers went home and left you alone
Monkeys to the left, monkeys feeling right at home
Too many people, too many walking alone
And though they say they don't like it, you know they reallydon't mind
If you started something
But all the signs in your head, call out your dead
And all the teachers went home and left you alone
