| Don’t invite the vicious companions
|
| Though they’re always at your side
|
| Only waiting to take you a ride
|
| Feel the creature rise inside you
|
| With misguided ill intent
|
| Look around, it’s your only defence
|
| On and on the story goes
|
| Where it leads to we all know
|
| What you give is what you get
|
| What you give
|
| See the hungry cry for the children
|
| Watch the greedy call for more
|
| And the self-ordained proceed to shut the door
|
| When the needy run from the table
|
| For they know there’s nothing there
|
| Hoping one day, will somebody care?
|
| On and on the story goes
|
| Where it leads to we all know
|
| What you give is what you get
|
| What you give is what you get
|
| We’ve got to be good, got to be strong
|
| The final approach is taking too long
|
| Too late in the day, when everything’s gone
|
| Now the villain, he may prosper
|
| And the thief might do as well
|
| With amusement, their crimes they dispel
|
| The promises they’ve broken
|
| And the hearts they have betrayed
|
| End to end they are carefully laid
|
| On and on the story goes
|
| Where it leads to we all know
|
| What you give is what you get
|
| What you give is what you get
|
| On and on the story goes
|
| Where it leads to we all know
|
| What you give is what you get
|
| What you give is what you get |
