Artist: Ry Cooder Album: N/A (0000) Title: Which Came First
Lyrics Which Came FirstWell you may be a hater, you may be a lover You can bet your life one destroys the other I don't know how it all began Which came first, the egg or the hen Egg or the hen Oh the moon comes up and the sun goes down This old world keeps spinnin' around Just as sure as the day turns into the night What you do in the dark turns up in the light Masked man ridin' out across the land Spreadin' destruction and movin' his hand He carries a ray gun, shoot from the hip Got your past in his pocket, your future's in his grip You may be a hater, you may be a lover Well you can bet your life one destroys the other Well I don't know how it all began Which came first, the egg or the hen Egg or the hen Now, you bet your life without a doubt Askin' a masked man to leave you out He's got so tight that you can't even see That ray gun is pointed right at you and me You won't see it comin' You won't feel the blow You won't get no warnin' You won't never know Now you can't start it sooner And fix it up later And you ain't gonna read about it in the newspaper Rich or poor, mighty and meek Don't need no ticket, you've all got a seat High up on the mountain, low down in the alley We'll all watch the world turn into death valley You may be a hater, you may be a lover You can bet your life one destroys the other Oh I don't know how it all began Which came first, the egg or the hen Egg or the hen Everybody shake hands Shake my hands Shake your neighbor's hand Oh shake my hands Aey shake my hands Shake my hands Oh shake my hands Better shake my hands May be a hater, may be a lover You can bet your life one destroys the other I don't know how it all began Which came first, the egg or the hen Egg or the hen |
