Round and round  
With love we’ll find a way, just give it time  
Round and round  
What comes around goes around  
I’ll tell you why  
Yeah

Oh but it’s all right  
Once you get past the pain  
You’ll learn to find your love again  
So keep your heart open  
Cause love will find a way

Well, it’s alright, ridin’ around in the breeze  
Well, it’s alright, if you live the life you please  
Well, it’s alright, doin’ the best you can  
Well, it’s alright, as long as you lend a hand

Well now, I’m a demon salesman  
I’m the nine-to-fiver  
When a customer is hard to sell  
It’s me they hire  
I’m about to be promoted with a juicy raise  
And I see my wife on Sundays and on holidays

'Cause I’m a family man  
('Cause he’s a family man)  
Yes, I’m a family man  
('Cause he’s a family man)

Workin’ 9 to 5  
What a way to make a livin’  
Barely gettin’ by  
It’s all takin’ and no givin’

They just use your mind  
And they never give you credit  
It’s enough to drive you  
Crazy if you let it

Monday, I have Friday on my mind  
Do the five-day drag once more (Monday blues)  
There was nothing else that bugs me  
More than working for the rich man (poor man, beggar man, thief)  
Hey, I’ll change that scene one day (bah-oom)  
Today, I might be mad (bah-oom)  
Tomorrow, I’ll be glad (bah-oom)  
'Cause I’ll have Friday on my mind

Monday morning you sure look fine  
Friday I got travelin’ on my mind  
First you love me and then you fade away  
I can’t go on believin’ this way

Saturday, wait  
And Sunday always comes too late  
But Friday, never hesitate

I don’t care if Monday’s black  
Tuesday, Wednesday, heart attack  
Thursday, never looking back  
It’s Friday, I’m in love

Well, I woke up Sunday morning  
With no way to hold my head that didn’t hurt  
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn’t bad  
So I had one more for dessert

Come Saturday morning  
I’m goin’ away with my friend  
Well Saturday-spend 'til the end of the day-ay  
Just I and my friend  
We’ll travel for miles in our Saturday smiles  
And then we’ll move on  
But we will remember  
Long after Saturday’s gone

Oh, Saturday night’s alright for fighting  
Get a little action in

Oh, I see a man at the back, as a matter of fact  
His eyes are as red as the sun  
And the girl in the corner, let no one ignore her  
'Cause she thinks she’s the passionate one

Oh, yeah! It was like lightning  
Everybody was fighting  
And the music was soothing  
And they all started grooving

Everybody was Kung Fu fighting  
I tell you what we’re finding  
I know it’s a little bit frightening  
Oh, but it’s so enlightening  
For the battle of the fists  
Comes the battle of the mind  
When you don’t know who you are  
Just look inside

_Kung Fu Fighting. Bus Stop_

Fight for what you want  
Fight for what you need  
Fight to keep the one you love

You’re gonna give up without a sound

You wake up late for school, man you don’t want to go  
You ask you mom, please? but she still says, no  
You missed two classes, and no homework  
But your teacher preaches class like you’re some kind of jerk

You gotta fight for your right to party

Every day I get in the queue (Too much, Magic Bus)

You house is only another mile (Too much, Magic Bus)

You don’t know what we can find

Fantasy will set you free
