I hang on tight the best I can
But it always drives me nuts
Get caught up in the whirlwind
That nothing interrupts
How bad I want to let it all go
And it's not for lack of guts
And the big ol' wheel goes
'Round and 'round
Like it's never gonna stop
And the big ol' wheel goes
'Round and 'round
Leaves me spinning like a top
And I go woo-woo
I give it all the strength I've got
But the thing won't let me go
I plot and scheme like a man obsessed
As it whips me to and fro
I ride it like a bronking horse
And I scream, Whoa, whoa, whoa
It defines for me insanity
I know that I can't make it cease
But that don't stop me trying to
Pouring sand into the grease
All I want is to slow it down
Slow it down
When all it does is increase
