Everything into account

They ask you if you're happy
and then tell you not to die
all you find to answer
is to give them the right time

You walk the street and wonder
where the hell 's the goddamn queue
oh you could wait forever
no one knows just what to do

            I don't believe in anything
            but I sure have found
            it wise to take
            everything into account.

Oh you'd gladly tear the meat
from the faces going by
but at times you wonder
if it's really worth the try

there's a fire in the hills
and they're dancing and they sing
simply just to get there
would be worth most anything

    refr.
                    so we're talking to each other
                    right by the vending machine
                    speculating 'bout the places
                    that we've never seen
                    our minds spinning round and round
                    taking everything into account
