"Make Room For Me" lyrics
"Make Room For Me"
They got a preacher on the corner, he been talkin' 'bout the Devil
But the world's heatin' up on a whole other level
If you don't wanna know it, don't listen
Even though it's just a matter of time 'fore we're all gonna blow it
Through a hole in the sky. What a way to die!
But you can't get to heaven unless you know the score
If you don't know nothin', what d'you tell me for?
I was better off dumb, suckin' my thumb
Tryin' to fit the large into the medium
You try to fake it till you make it but it just don't help me none
It ain't no secret, you can go ahead and shout it
It's in all the papers, you can read all about it
On the front page, the story of the age
To keep us all free they're gonna put us in a cage
With a fence on the border to maintain order and the minimum wage
Well, it's hard to find space for all the shit you gotta know
Just to keep your life together, and if you don't wanna throw out
The baby with the bath, you gotta make room
And if you do the math you'll find out soon enough
That you gotta clean up, and that's tough
Well, the first thing to go is that life is fair
Second is that you're gonna be a millionaire
Without workin' too hard. Lunch is free...
That ain't on the cards, that's number three
Drain your brain, baby, make a little room for me
Yeah, drain your brain, make a little room for me
Oh, drain your brain, make a little room for me
