"On and On"

Dad, your separate ways leave me tossed like a coin on its tail.
In a power play, what's your goal? Shake my head, sit and wait.
You think I was born yesterday? Yeah, right in a love charade.
I don't want to stay. I can't go on every other day.

I'm tired of put'n on this show.
I'm sick enough to let it go on and on and on and on.
It must go.

Lives in disarray. So I'm told. I don't care what you say.
I don't want to play. I'm too old. You keep your rainy day.
Who's the one to pay? Broken mold cast on these feet of clay.

I'm tired of put'n on this show.
I'm sick enough to let it go on and on and on and on.
It must go.

No fool in school.
Study my dream of fields.
Control the rule.
No time to yield.

Wings spread bird of prey. Fierce winds blow. Nesting branches to sway.

I don't want to stay. I can't go. I have the right of way.

I'm tired of put'n on this show.
I'm sick enough to let it go on and on and on and on.
It must go on and on.
