Cake - You Turn The Screws lyrics

rate me

VERSE 1

You turn the screws

You tear down the bridge

Flimsy as it is,

It's business like.

You shake my hand

You break up the band

Flimsy as it is,

It's open mike

punk rock

Red white and blue,

You twist the knife

Then go home to kiss your wife

A bigger better slice

is what you'd like

You kick the sand

You get the upper hand

You sell it to Japan

It's natural

Punk rock

Red white and blue

CHORUS

You turn the screws

It's what you choose to do

You think that I

Must turn them too

You think that I

Must be so satisfied

I stay inside

I wonder why

VERSE 2

And the cement mixer gets it all ready

One good turn at a time

Then pouring it slowly and steady

You're showing me where I can sign

What I can expect to find

But how you can you say you'll be happy

When you turn the screws

(repeat Chorus)
