To Die For

They say the Jones' next door have the car to die for They say it has an electric heater an'all They say it's low on fuel consumption That must be true 'cos I heard it go up the hill and stall ...but I ask you... Who the hell is 'they' anyway! They say the events of Roswell are true They say the little green men did come say howdy They say the evidence is strewn all over That must be right 'cos just mention it in the South an' everyone gets rowdy! ...but I say again... Who the hell is 'they' anyway! They say Kennedy was shot while moseying along the motorcade They said something about a Lee an' a Harvey an' a rifle They say there was someone else on a grass of Knoll? I know that must be true 'cos I was standing next to him eating my trifle! ...but c'mon.... Who the hell is 'they' anyway! They say the end of the world is nigh They say it's time to pack some supplies, baked beans 'n rice They say the next quake will be the One That must be right 'cos I read somewhere the Lord throws a loaded dice! 'Tis true...but I gotta ask... Who the hell is 'they' anyway! They say a man should love a woman like he does his own soul They say this is the sacred secret to happiness, romance and bliss They say he should worship her like a queen That must be the case 'cos the last time I looked, all I had was my Bloodhound to kiss! This time I have to concede to 'em As hard and humbling it may be In this case siding with they an' them an' theirs Is all one needs for long life, peace and freedom ...but who the hell am I anyway!
