Survey Says
Survey says it was a bad idea in the first place
never been that drunk in my life
as I got down on my hands and knees
and asked you to be my husband... wife.
Two days later, still coughing up blood,
I sat down to write this, all I know
with a clearer head and a heart full of lead.
Engine is runnin', power's goin' down down down
Engine is goin', tires are sinking deep into the ground
Engine is runnin', but the times are going by slower than ever
Engine is goin', crossing still an impossible line
CHORUS:
When you know it's going to work
It makes you, breaks you, all the same now
California doesn't know what hit it, admit it --
Got them by the balls.
One lost Pinto gets sent to the border in order
All we need now.
Army is runnin', the hands and legs are locked with paper clips.
Army is goin', but the anthrax still burns
Army is goin', but the cavalry have to save the day
Army is runnin', crossing still an impossible line
CHORUS again
One, two, cha-cha-cha!
Survey says it was a test of machismo
survey it was a bunch of nonsense!
