Uncleshake - ON and ON Lyrics

A bitter old man is sitting all alone
He's counting down the minutes and he's biding his time
He understands that one thing that you will never know
It's a secret he will keep until that day he finally dies
If he points his bony finger then the hounds will all attack
If you cross his path he'll single out your name
He got to where he is by simply riding on your back
You resent him you distrust him but you help him all the same
So it goes on and on
Over and over until we're gone
Just keep on singing that same old song
Over and over on and on
A rich old man is sitting all alone
He's counting all his money and he's laughing at you
He's dangling a carrot but he'll never throw a bone
He'll make all your decisions but he'll let you think you choose
If you fight amongst yourselves blame will never rest on him
You'll believe there's something powerful inside his empty hand
If you ask him at the best of times his outlook's always grim
If you knew you had enough he's just a worthless old man
So it goes on and on
Over and over until we're gone
Just keep on singing that same old song
Over and over on and on
A powerful old man is sitting on his throne
He cannot be concerned with what is wrong and what is right
His ears have all but deafened to those constant wails and moans
And he's found a way to close his eyes and sleep throughout the night
So it goes on and on
Over and over until we're gone
Just keep on singing that same old song
Over and over on and on
