Lyrics to MR. WHEEL
VERSE I
Mr. Wheel we see you, the things that you do
And what you won’t do!
What you won’t do, what you say
The people who pay
And who pays for you
Who pays for you? Now what do THEY get out-of-it? We’re gonna add it up
CHORUS
Add it up
Count it up
Count it up but
You can’t take it with you when you’re gone, you know?
Add it up
Count it up
Count it up but you can’t take it with you
Where you’re going to
VERSE II
Mr. Knight well they gave you a stick
They make you use it
You got no choice now
Got no choice but to do what they say
And then you take home the pay
But who pays for you
We pay for you
But what do we get but the back of your stick
We’re gonna add it up
CHORUS
Harmonica Solo
VERSE III
Mr White they stole all the land
On which we now stand
It’s just the way it is
The way it is, the way you want it to stay
But it’s washing away
And who pays for it
The future pays but what do they get out of it
They’re gonna add it up
French Horn Solo
Chorus
Mr. Wheel we see you, the things that you do
And what you won’t do
