Radiohead Lyrics

"Like Spinning Plates ('Why Us?' Version)"

Why us?
Why not someone else? Why us?
The cameras are turning off
Our lights so run away

And this just feels like
Spinning plates
Our bodies floating down the muddy river

While you make pretty speeches
I'm being cut to shreds
You feed me to the lions-
A delicate balance

When this just feels like
Spinning plates
I'm living in Cloud Cuckoo Land
When this just feels like
Spinning plates
Our bodies floating down a
Muddy river

[Extended outro:]
Why us?
