Write Your Own History

If life’s for living on a ball and chain
I’d like a nibble on it now and again
I’ll take the money if it’s all the same
It’s never been a mystery
I’ll swan it up and then I’ll play it down
And chase indifference all over town
And spread a little bit a long way round
When I write my own history
And the world rolls on… and the world rolls on
Destination undefined, depending on your state of mind
The end of autumn to the start of fall
You want for nothing but you need it all
And no-one ever seems to take your call
Until you write your own history
And the world rolls on… and the world rolls on
Getting it on, getting it on, come on
So if we ever get to pay the rent
I’ll lay it on about the blood we spent
I’ll let you iknow just how the future went
If life’s for living on a ball and chain
I’d like a nibble on it now and again
I’ll take the money if it’s all the same
It’s never been a mystery
I’ll swan it up and then I’ll play it down
And chase indifference all over town
And spread a little bit a long way round
When I write my own history
And the world rolls on… and the world rolls on
Destination undefined, depending on your state of mind
The end of autumn to the start of fall
You want for nothing but you need it all
And no-one ever seems to take your call
Until you write your own history
And the world rolls on… and the world rolls on
Getting it on, getting it on, come on
So if we ever get to pay the rent
I’ll lay it on about the blood we spent
I’ll let you iknow just how the future went
When I write my own history
If life’s for living on a ball and chain
