lyrics

You shine your shoes up right,
you iron your pants and your shirts tucked in tight.
You ain't like me but, that's alright.
That's how this wicked world turns round.

Oh mother, spin around.
Spin around again. Spin til' I get weak
oh, spin til' I fall down.
Spin til' I can up and leave this ol' and lonesome town.

I like dirt on my boots and
my jeans have got some tears.
Wearing yesturday's t-shirt, I got wild and messy hair
But I don't care. That's how this wicked world turns round.

Oh mother, spin around.
Spin around again. Spin til' I get weak
oh, spin til' I fall down.
Spin til' I can up and leave this ol' and lonesome town.

Well some got a little oh and some got a lot
And that's the way it's always been.
Yeah it's shit but, whether we like it or not
Thats how this world will end.

Oh mother, spin around.
Spin around again. Spin til' I get weak
oh, spin til' I fall down.
Spin til' I can up and leave this ol' and lonesome town.
