D Em F#m G We can talk about it now A It's that same old riddle Only starting from the middle D Em F#m G I'd fix it but I don't know how A Well, we could try to reason But you might think it's treason Chorus: G F One voice for all E7 A Echoing along the hall Bm Bm/A G Don't give up on father clock A Bm C#m D A7 We can talk about it now Come, let me show you how To keep the wheels turnin' you got to keep the engines churnin' Well, did ya ever milk a cow? (Milk a cow?) Well, I had the chance one day but I was all dressed up for Sunday! Chorus: Everybody, everywhere: Do you really care? Well, then pick up your heads and walk We can talk about it now C E7 It seems to me we've been holding something F Underneath our tongues C E7 I'm afraid if you ever got a pat on the back F G It would likely burst your lungs A E Oh, stop me if I should sound A E Kinda down in the mouth A E But I'd rather be burned in Canada A D A A/C# Than to freeze here in the south Pulling that eternal plough We got to find a sharper blade, or have a new one made Rest awhile and cool your brow Don't ya see, there's no need to slave, the whip is in the grave Chorus: No salt, no trance It's safe now (you know it's safe) to take a backward glance Because the flames have turned to chalk!
