"That's What They Always Say" lyrics

That's What They Always Say

That's what they always say
Ooh-ooh
That's what they always say
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh

At the first bell of the day
They rise up from where they lay
And look down with the promise
In their hands
A promise to get out
This ain't what it's all about
There's always lots of reasons
For their plans

When that golden sun shines through
There's always one more thing to do
Just one more stab into
The wishing well

That's what they always say
I'm getting out, yeah
That's what they always say
Ain't that just what they always say?
That's what they always say
Just one more little thing
Left in my way
That's what they always say
Ain't that just what they always say?

I'm getting out, I'm holding on
I'm hanging in
The time is wrong
And every morning brings
Another reason
A piece of cake
No lion share
Just one more dice
And you'll be there
That golden bridge
Is just around the bend

That's what they always say
Ain't that just what they always say?
That's what they always say
I'm getting out, yeah
That's what they always say
Just one more little thing
Left in my way
That's what they always say
Ain't that just what they always say?
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh

Tomorrow is another day
And the money junkie fades away
That golden bridge
Is just around the bend

That's what they always say
Ain't that just what they always say?
That's what they always say
I'm getting out, yeah
That's what they always say
Just one more little thing
Left in my way
That's what they always say
Ain't that just what they always say?

That's what they always say
That's what they always say
Just one more little thing
That's what they always say
Left in my way
That's what they always say
That's what they always say
