Lyrics:
Well you may be a hater, you may be a lover You can bet your life one destroys the other I don't know how it all began Which came first, the egg or the hen? The egg or the hen?
Now the moon coming up, the sun going down This old world keeps spinning around Just as sure as the day turns into the night What you do in the dark turns up in the light Masked man ridin' out across the land Spreading destruction and moving his hand He carries a ray-gun, shoot from the hip Got your past in his pocket, your future's in his grip
You may be a hater, you may be a lover You can bet your life one destroys the other Well I don't know how it all began Which came first, the egg or the hen? Egg or the hen?
Now, you bet your life without a doubt Asking a masked man to lead you out He's got you so tight that you can't even see That ray-gun is pointed right at you and me Well you won't see it coming, you won't feel the blow You won't get no warning, you won't never know Now you can't start it sooner and fix it up later And you ain't going to read about it in the newspaper Rich or poor, mighty and meek You don't need no ticket, you've all got a seat High up on the mountain, low down in the alley We'll all watch the world turn into Death Valley
You may be a hater, you may be a lover You can bet your life one destroys the other Well I don't know how it all began Which came first, the egg or the hen? Egg or the hen?
Everybody shake hands 'cause time is winding up Shake my hand 'cause time is winding up Shake your neighbor's hand 'cause time is winding up Ah shake that hand 'cause time is winding up Better shake my hand 'cause time is winding up Shake my hand 'cause time is winding up Ah shake my hand 'cause time is winding up Better shake my hand 'cause time is winding up
You may be a hater, you may be a lover You can bet your life one destroys the other I don't know how it all began Which came first, the egg or the hen? Shake of the hand
