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 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 then 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 feed 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 Go on and do it We see right through it You can bend and twist And we'll go 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 Go on then do it It's so like you You can point and push But we will overcome Your wheels on fire Your one desire Is to tear and twist and then you'll be gone Go on then try it No-one buys it You can turn and twist But we will overcome We will overcome
