"Pendulum" lyrics

The pendulum swings for me and for you
The left and the right
The red and the blue
So here's to my friends and my enemies, too
The pendulum swings for me and for you

Old man at the bar is drinking his drink
While the news on the TV is making him think
That the world as we know it is close to the brink
And why isn't anyone making a stink?

Tally ho, yeah, we're damned if we don't
Tally ho, yeah, we're damned if we do
Tally ho, yeah, whatever it brings
The pendulum swings for me and for you

Old man at the bar gets up from his seat
Goes home to his wife
Has something to eat
Well, they voted this morning, now it's looking real bleak
So why doesn't anyone turn up the heat?

Tally ho, yeah, we're damned if we don't
Tally ho, yeah, we're damned if we do
Tally ho, yeah, whatever it brings
The pendulum swings for me and for you

The rooster he crows and the bumblebee stings
The good and the bad are what every day brings
But with you in my arms, how the bluebird she sings
It's life here on Earth as the pendulum swings

Oh, the pendulum swings for me and for you
The left and the right
The red and the blue
So here's to my friends and my enemies, too
The pendulum swings for me and for you

Tally ho, yeah, we're damned if we don't
Tally ho, yeah, we're damned if we do
Tally ho, yeah, whatever it brings
The pendulum swings for me and for you

Tally ho, yeah, we're damned if we don't
Tally ho, yeah, we're damned if we do
Tally ho, yeah, whatever it brings
The pendulum swings for me and for you

Whatever it brings, the pendulum swings
