Spinning wheels keep turning backwards
It's so hard to hold your faith
All we do for the children
All we're givin we're takin' away

As sure as I'm gettin' older
Father time keeps ticking by
Mother's getting colder
And if we don't change our ways
We'll cross the line, now it's time
Someone tell me why

We're going round and round
Will we ever live and learn
Just like a wheel that keeps on turning
We're going round and round
Will we ever live and learn
Will we ever live and learn

So you say that you're my brother
Comin' 'round,sleepin' in my bed
Why are you talkin' 'bout my mother
Got a big old mouth, nothing in your head
