Yeah, and somebody said, if you really want to get ahead

You can make your bed, but you don't have to lie in it

So keep your bad advice, I listened to it once or twice

I'll just throw the dice and wait a minute



Even as we speak, the headlines of the week

They may be wrong, but I'll be strong

And you belong with me



Yeah, and somebody sang, I don't believe in this whole shebang

The Lutherans rang, and I felt the power

I opened up my arms, walked out underneath the palms

And the car alarms went off every hour



Yeah, and somebody wrote, that it might have been a joke

Or just a mistake, at least that's what I reckon

I threw the windows open, it didn't matter that I was broken

I'm still hoping for something better every second



Even as we speak, the headlines of the week

They may be wrong, but I'll be strong

And you belong with me

Even as we speak, when things become more bleak

They may be wrong, but I'll be strong

And you belong with me

Even as we speak, the passing of another freak

They may be wrong, but I'll be strong

And you belong with me

Even as we speak

They may be wrong

And you belong with me
