lyrics
There is one, there is one
There is only one
There is one for all and all for none
It all goes to numero one
And everything else under the sun
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
It ever was
You must be the servant or the master
The servant or the master
You must be the servant or the master
The hammer or the anvil
If there's a god, there's a god
A god up in heaven
If he's up there he must be pissed
He must be pulling out his hair
And all the details that he's missed
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
It ever was
Drifting out, drifting out
I'm drifting out of view
It's as if I've gone all out of focus
Don't mean to sound mystical
Or magical
It ain't no hocus-pocus
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
It ever was
