I`ve been pushed around this dirty old town I had to move so many times it makes my head spin `round Just what it is that keeps me here Is hard to say, the answer`s not real clear
I guess it casts a spell that`s hard to break Like December`s ice on a mountain lake I tried to get out but I don`t have the heart To leave all my friends and make a new start.
There`s a fly buzzin` around my 8x12 home Where I can spend the afternoon all alone I don`t need much don`t you know I don`t need a TV or a VCR or a touch tone telephone
All you people you try to sell the land You don`t see the problem, you don`t seem to understand All you`re doin` is makin` one big mess `Cause bigger isn`t better and money isn`t happiness
