That's What They Always Say

At the first bell of the day

They rise up from where they lay

And look down with the promise in their hands

A promise to get out

This ain't what it's all about

There's always lots of reasons for their plans

When that golden sun shines through

There's always one more thing to do

Just one more stab into the wishing well

That's what they always say

I'm getting out

That's what they always say

Ain't that just what they always say

That's what they always say

Just one more little thing left in my way

That's what they always say

Ain't that just what they always say

I'm getting out, I'm holding on

I'm hanging in, the time is wrong

And every morning brings another reason

A piece of cake, no lion share

Just one more dice and you'll be there

That golden bridge is just around the bend

That's what they always say

I'm getting out

That's what they always say

Ain't that just what they always say

That's what they always say

Just one more little thing left in my way

That's what they always say

Ain't that just what they always say

Tomorrow is another day

The money junkie fades away

That golden bridge is just around the bend

That's what they always say

I'm getting out

That's what they always say

Ain't that just what they always say

That's what they always say

Just one more little thing left in my way

That's what they always say

Ain't that just what they always say
