IT NEVER GOES AWAY
Stanley, Kulick, Cuomo
[Intro: Alternate Rhy. fig 1a & 1b, panning in the stereo field]
[Rhy. fig 2a & 2b]
Want it
You can have it
Come and take it
I don't need it
Power and possessions
Never quiet your obsessions
[Rhy. fig 3a with Riff 1]
Outside, we search for something
[Rhy. fig 3a]
Inside, we still have nothing
[Rhy. fig 2a & 2b]
People deep in trouble
Let their money run for double
[Rhy. fig 3a with Fill 1]
Outside, they search for something
[Rhy. fig 3b]
Inside, they still have nothing
It never ends
[Rhy. fig 4a & 4b]
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can say
And even if I could
And even if I would
It never goes away
[Rhy. fig 5]
[Rhy. fig 2a & 2b]
Heartless rich and greedy
Watch the churches rape the needy
[Rhy. fig 3a]
While we pray for salvation
[Rhy. fig 3b]
Preachers yield to temptation
It never ends
[Rhy. fig 4a & 4b]
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can say
And even if I could
And even if I would
It never goes away
[Rhy. fig 4a & 4b]
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can say
And even if I could
And even if I would
It never goes away
[Rhy. fig 5]
[Rhy. fig 6a & 6b]
[Rhy. fig 7]
[Rhy. fig 8a & 8b]
Blinded believers and doomsday deceivers
Are driving you out of your head
Look in the mirror, the answer is near
Though your sanity hangs by a thread
[Rhy. fig 4a & 4b]
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can say
And even I could
And even I would
It never goes away
[Rhy. fig 4a & 4b]
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can say
And even if I could
And even if I would
It never goes away
