So give it all you got now
Give it all for free
Give it everything you want
But live for eternity

Shake it up for penance
Shake it up for lent
Shake it anyway you want to people
In the end

Everytime I try to get off
I end up getting right back on
And if it's right
And if it's wrong
It's just a merry-go-round

So give it all away now
Give it up for free
Cause everything you got
Is gonna leave you eventually

You shake it up for breakfast don't you?
Shake, shake it up for tea
Shake it anyway you want
You're here for eternity

Everytime I try to get off
I end up getting right back on
And if it's right
And if it's wrong
It's just a merry-go-round
And this is the way of it
I cannot get out of this
It's the royal path of life

So give it all you got now
Give it up for free
Yeah, you know people
Were gonna live for it, you and me
I know we got the answers
I know what it's gonna be
I know, I know, I know, I know that I don't know

Everytime I try to get off (and I'm trying to get off this train, I'm trying to get off it now)
I end up getting right back on (don't you know it's right)
And if it's right (I know I know)
And if it's wrong (I don't know)
It's just a merry-go-round
And this is the way of it
No way to get out of this
It's the royal path of life.
