Lyrics
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
He's at it again and he's gonna win (Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
Gonna take you for a hell ride anyway (Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
He's on your side, gonna throw you aside (Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
And let the vultures pick apart what's left (Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
Seems like everything
Was just a fraction of a second from being okay
So run and hide cause we're all gonna die
And let the vultures pick apart what's left
I'll be back
I'll be back
I'll be back
I'll be back
He's at it again
He's at it again
And it makes great television watching the world end
He's at it again and he's gonna win
Gonna take ya for a joy ride anyway
You're standing in line, better make up your mind
And let the bastards pick apart what's left of you
It seems like everything
Was just a fraction of a second from being a dream
So run and hide because we're all gonna die
And let the government decide what's left
I'll be back
I'll be back
I'll be back
I'll be back
He's at it again!
He's at it again!
And it makes great television watching the world end
I'll be back (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
I'll be back (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
I'll be back (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
I'll be back (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Walk around I see a million possibilities (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
And I know there's nowhere to go (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
And I can't comprehend things that're so real seem so pretend (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
And I know, I don't know (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
I'll be back
I'll be back
I'll be back
I'll be back
He's at it again!
He's at it again!
And it makes great television watching the world end
I'll be back
I'll be back
I'll be back
I'll be back
He's at it again!
He's at it again!
And it makes great television watching the world end
