Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Caught up in wheels of fortune while you've been asleep
Come on, give it up, you got what's comin' you
No use for you to struggle, now you're in too deep
It's gonna be a long, long time before it's through
[Verse 2]
Changin' wheels of fortune
Drivin' us on and on
Winnin', sometimes losin'
As soon as it's here, it's gone
[Verse 3]
I'm so tired of losin'
But I still play the game
And I know there's no reason
Still, I go on searchin' just the same
[Verse 4]
Well, I've kicked around your city, seen your vanity
Mister Society, can you hear me?
You take your satisfaction and you cover all the action
But your loaded dice won't help you in the end
And you can hear 'em calling
[Verse 5]
Changin' wheels of fortune
Drivin' us on and on
Winnin', sometimes losin'
As soon as it's here, it's gone
[Verse 6]
I'm so tired of losin'
But I still play the game
And I know there's no reason
Still, I go on searchin' just the same
[Verse 7]
Well, changin' wheels of fortune
Drivin' us on and on
Winnin', sometimes losin'
As soon as it's here, it's gone
You can hear 'em calling
[Verse 8]
Changin' wheels of fortune
Drivin' us on and on
Winnin', sometimes losin'
As soon as it's here, it's gone
