Lyrics
The streets aren't lined with gold
The cheese is full of mold
Come into the fold with me
Global domination
Well, it sparks my imagination
It kills the vegetation
It's not my cup of tea
The stairs are high and winding
My brother is divining
The empire is declining
But the wine is old
It's never sweet enough
And a little bit too tough
And they play a bit too rough
And they talk a little bit too coarse
You see, there's another color
Just sitting on the bed
You know it's true
Though you haven't heard it yet
That they're playing for keeps
Like a piece on a board
You know it's true
Though you haven't heard it before
Welcome to the decline
It's going just fine
It's good for the wine
And it's good for the forces
You can run, but you can't hide
Beggars would ride
If they had their horses
If wishes were horses
Beggars would ride
If wishes were horses
Beggars would ride
If wishes were horses
Beggars would ride
Beggars would ride
Beggars would ride
The carousel is burning
The models are so yearning
The tables are in turn
But the lunch is free
And it's never cheap enough
And it's always the same stuff
And they forever call your bluff
And forever get their fee
You see, there's another color
Just sitting on the bed
You know it's true
Though you haven't heard it yet
That they're playing for keeps
Like a piece on a board
You know it's true
Though you haven't heard it before
Welcome to the decline
It's going just fine
It's good for the wine
And it's good for the forces
You can run, but you can't hide
Beggars would ride
If they had their horses
If wishes were horses
Beggars would ride
If wishes were horses
Beggars would ride
If wishes were horses
Beggars would ride
Beggars would ride
Beggars would ride
Ride, beggars ride
There is no limitation
Set upon this nation
What is our station and relationship?
What about the pollution
And the constitution?
What is the purpose of this burning franchise plate?
If wishes were horses
Beggars would ride
If wishes were horses
Beggars would ride
If wishes were horses
Beggars would ride
Beggars would ride
Beggars would ride
If wishes were horses (Beggars would ride)
Beggars would ride (Beggars would ride)
If wishes were horses (Beggars would ride)
Beggars would ride (Beggars would ride)
