Creatures of
Habit |
| I knew
a man, he started out young He had heart, he had soul, he had hope in his hand Somebody said, hey, you oughtta run For the government job in the promise land. But watch your back, hang onto your soul A pretty penny's waiting in your name They may seem civil with their honors and gold But it's a zoo and they're all the same (they all) CHORUS Scheme like a weasel Run like a rabbit Lie like a snake They're just creatures Creatures of habit He went to town and started out strong He was cool, he was brave, he was taking a stand Somebody said he could do no wrong In his government job in the promise land. But in the back, beyond his control They put a pretty penny in his name And then it grew into honors and gold Where it's a zoo and they're all the same (they all) CHORUS BRIDGE Down in the lobby you will find them scheming Give them an out and they'll run with the take You want the truth but they're not done lying It's an addiction that they cannot break (they just) CHORUS I knew a man, he started out young He had heart, he had soul, he had hope in his hand Somebody found him a place in the sun In his government job in the promise land. He's got the knack, though heavy and old To send a pretty penny in our name We think he's civil with his honors and gold And send him back there again and again and again and again (we just) CHORUS (except "We're just ...") |
