Well you say you won

You'll work until the work is done

I don't see you lift a hand

To help out one of your fellow man

And they're using us up again

But I won't be no puppet on a string

Your wheels on fire

Your one desire

Is to roll and rule over everyone

Come on let's do it

We see right through it

You can roll and rule

But we will overcome

You say you won

The talk until all the talk is done

I see you move your mouth

But I hear nothing of any weight come out

And you're calling

On out the feel again

You're talking talking

But you're not really saying anything

Your wheels on fire

Your one desire

Is to bend and twist every little thing we've done

Your one and try it

We see right through it

You can bend and twist

And we'll be holding strong

You're building us up just to tear us down

You think that nothing's gonna stop you now

But I hear you're preaching from a nervous throne

Your wheels on fire

Your one desire

Is to point and push your will on everyone

Your one and try it

It's so like you

You can point and push

But we will overcome

Your wheels on fire

Your one desire

Is to bend and twist little overcome

Your one and try it

But no one buys it

You can bend and twist overcome

But we will overcome
