Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Pigs, they tend to wiggle when they walk
The infrastructure rots
And the owners hate the jocks
With their agents and their dates
If the signatures are checked
You'll just have to wait
And we're counting up the instants that we save
Tired nation, so depraved
From the cheap seats, see us wave
To the camera
It took a giant ramrod
To raze the demon settlement
[PreChorus]
But high-ho, Silver, ride
High-ho, Silver, ride
Take another ride to see me home
[Chorus]
Listen to me
I'm on the stereo, stereo
Oh, my baby, baby, baby, baby, babe
Gave me malaria, hysteria
[Instrumental]
What about the voice of Geddy Lee
How did it get so high?
I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy?
I know him and he does
And you're my fact-checkin' cuz (Aww)
[Instrumental]
Well, focus on the quasar in the mist
The Kaiser has a cyst
And I'm a blank want
List the qualms you have and if they stick
They will drown you in a crick
In the neck of a woods
That was populated by
Tired nation on the fly
Everybody knows advice
That was given out for free
Lots of details to discern
Lots of details
[PreChorus]
But high-ho, Silver, ride
High-ho, Silver, ride
Takes another ride to make me
[Chorus]
Oh, get off the air
I'm on the stereo, stereo
My baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, babe
Gave me malaria, hysteria
