Oh well, I'm dressed up so nice
And I'm doin' my best
And I'm startin' over
I'm startin' over in another place
Let me tell you a story
A big chief with a golden crown
He's got rings on his fingers
And he walks up, up to the throne
He's makin' shapes with his hands
And don't choo dare sit back
Now don't choo dare sit down
And don't choo dare speak up!
And on the first day, we had everything we could stand
Oh-oh who could've asked for more?
And on the second day, there was nothing else left to do
Oh-oh what a day that was
There are fifty thousand beggars
Roaming in the streets
They have lost all their possessions
They have nothing left to eat
Down come a bolt of lightning
Start an electrical storm
Then starts a chain reaction
Go pull a fire alarm
I'm dreaming of a city
It was my own invention
I put the wheels in motion
A time for big decisions
And on the first day, we had everything we could stand
Oh-oh and then we let it fall
And on the second day, there was nothing else at all
Oh-oh what a day that was
Oh, oh a day that was
Oh-oh that's the way it goes
There's a million ways- to get things done
There's a million ways- to make things work out
ย
Well, I'm going right through
And the light came down
Well they're roundin' 'em up
From all over town
They're movin' forward and backwards
Movin' backwards and front
And they're enjoying themselves
Moving in every direction
And if you feel like you're in a whirlpool
You feel like going home
You feel like talking to someone
Who knows the difference between right and wrong
And on the first day, we had everything we could stand
Oh-oh and then we let it fall
And on the second day, there was nothing else left at all
Oh-oh, what a day that was
Oh-oh-oh, ya-ya-ya, ha-ha-ha
Hey, yayya ya, haha
ย
We're goin' boom boom boom
And that's the way we live
And in a great big room
And that's the way we live
We're goin' boom boom boom
And that's the way we live
And in a great big room
And that's the way we live
We're goin' boom-boom-boom
And that's the way we live
And in a great big room
And that's the way we live
