Yeah, and somebody said
If you really wanna get ahead
You can make your bed
But you don't have to lie in it

So keep your bad advice
I listened to it once or twice
I'll just throw the dice
And wait a minute

Even as we speak, the headlines of the week
They may be wrong, but I'll be strong
And you belong with me

Yeah, and somebody sang
I don't believe in this whole shebang
The Lutherans rang
And I felt the power

I opened up my arms
Walked out underneath the palms
And the car alarms
Went off every hour

Even as we speak, the headlines of the week
They may be wrong, but I'll be strong
And you belong with me

Yeah, and somebody wrote
That it might have been a joke
Or just a misquote
At least that's what I reckon

I threw the windows open
It didn't matter that I was broken
I'm still hoping
For something better every second

Even as we speak, the headlines of the week
They may be wrong, but I'll be strong
And you belong with me

Even as we speak, when things become more bleak
They may be wrong, but I'll be strong
And you belong with me

Even as we speak, the passing of another freak
They may be wrong, but I'll be strong
And you belong with me

Even as we speak
They may be wrong
And you belong with me

Even as we speak
They may be wrong
