Which Came First |
You may be a hater, you may be a lover |
You can bet your life one destroys the other |
I don’t know how it all began, which came first |
The egg or the hen |
The moon comes up and the sun goes down |
This old world keeps spinning around |
Just as sure as the day turns into the night |
What you do in the dark will turn up in the light |
Masked man ridin' out across the land |
Spreading destruction and moving his hand |
He carries a ray-gun, shoots from the hip |
Got your past in his pocket, your future’s in his grip |
You may be a hater, you may be a lover |
You bet your life one destroys the other |
I don’t know how it all began, which came first |
The egg or the hen |
Now, you bet your life without a doubt |
Asking a masked man to leat you out |
He’s got you so tight that you can’t even see |
That ray-gun is pointed right at you and me |
You won’t see it coming |
You won’t feel the blow |
You won’t get no warning |
You won’t never know |
You can’t start it sooner |
And fix it up later |
And you ain’t going to read about it in the newspaper |
Rich or poor, mighty and meek |
Don’t need no ticket, you’ve all got a seat |
High up on the mountain, low down in the alley |
We’ll all watch the world turn into death valley |
You may be a hater, you may be a lover |
You can bet your life one destroys the other |
