People keep talkin' bout money and problems in their lives Puttin' other people down behind their back, they gotta criticize Hardly ever get a chance to say that we are much obliged Cause we're going in a circle babe And nobody really knows where the circle begins Singular methods of keepin' you into your self despise What you gonna buy when the well runs dry You know what that implies All of us sittin' round wonderin' are they tellin' us lies? If they are, then we're in trouble And now everybody better think about where this ends Hurtin' people gotta keep workin' it just to stay alive Two weeks in the sun is not a lot of fun, and I apologize 'Spect a bunch of people now agree that they all sympathize Cause the rich keep gettin' richer And the poor had better think about where that's at Makin' your life a misery ain't never gonna satisfy If you keep thinkin' that you're gonna be sinkin' Then everybody say goodbye Keepin' your humanity full of common dignity Now that's the one that justifys Cause we're only simple people babe And nobody really knows And we're going in a circle babe And nobody knows where the circle begins
