All We Do Is Spin

Round and round, back and forth, back to where we have been The race is on, no one wants to lose, but neither can anyone win So much to do, so little time, get out there then get back in From north to south, on the axis of Earth; it seems all we do is spin The morning comes; madness begins, hassling through thick and thin The pursuit of happiness; summer, fall and winter; all the way back to spring Everyone is anxious, barley getting by, wondering what tomorrow will bring? At home, at work, through the park and back; all we do is spin Indoors doing chores, all is a bore, but you can check the news bulletin Or get glued to your phone, what’s the latest trend, on that social media scene Trash in trash out, from your computer to your kitchen, empty the recycle bin High tech communication, but no one to talk to: All we do is spin You must be a citizen, a taxpayer at least; it’s not enough to be a human being Pay this bill, pay the other one, and don’t forget your password and pin Be a lover too, till death do you part, with pride wear that wedding ring Get married, get divorced; raise some kids to do the same. All we do is spin Go to the clinic, you are not well, fix it all with some medicine Go to church, repent your sins, listen to the choir sing Go to the bar, make new friends, drink some whisky or gin Don’t worry if you get drunk and stagger home: All we do is spin Round and round, back and forth, back to where we have been The race is on, no one wants to lose, but neither can anyone win So much to do, so little time, get out there then get back in From north to south, on the axis of Earth; it seems all we do is spin
