Merry-Go-Round

Do you feel that your life is like a merry-go-round?
Always goin’ round and up and down
Do you spend all your time workin’ for a new thrill?
Just to find you’re all caught up on a spinning wheel

Just like a merry-go-round, merry-go-round
Merry-go-round, merry-go-round
Merry-go-round, get your feet on the ground
Merry-go-round

Spinning, spinning, spinning, spinning
Around and around and around and around
You’re just spinning, spinning, spinning, spinning
Around and around and around and around
You’re just spinning, spinning, spinning, spinning
Around and around and around and around
You’re just spinning, spinning, spinning, spinning around
And you know that you’ve got to get off

Merry-go-round, got to get off it
Oh, got to get off it

You say that your work, is so important to you
But you’re so dizzy when the day is through
Well you got your connections; your friends are tried and true
But you can’t depend on them, they can’t depend on you

You’re on a merry-go-round, you’re on a merry-go-round
Merry-go-round, merry-go-round
Merry-go-round, get your feet on the ground
Merry-go-round

Spinning, spinning, spinning, spinning
Around and around and around and around
You’re just spinning, spinning, spinning, spinning
Around and around and around and around
You’re just spinning, spinning, spinning, spinning
Around and around and around and around
You’re just spinning, spinning, spinning, spinning around
And you know that you’ve got to get off

Listen, to what He’s tryin’ to say
He’s callin’ you to a straight and narrow way
So please

Get off the merry-go-round, get off the merry-go-round
The merry-go-round, the merry-go-round
Stop that spinning, spinning on that merry-go-round

Get off the merry-go-round, get off the merry-go-round
The merry-go-round, the merry-go-round
Stop that spinning, spinning on that merry-go-round

Get off the merry-go-round, get off the merry-go-round
The merry-go-round, the merry-go-round
Stop that spinning, spinning
