One More Time Lyrics

Welcome to the realm of repetition

Welcome to last year or who knows when?

Not deja-vu, not premonition

This here's the age of do it again

Step on up to bullshit central

Same old shit you trod through last week

All the poop we were too dumb or lazy to stoop and scoop

All the words we were to afraid to speak

Come on down you're the next contestant

Stake your claim make no investment

Watch the wheel go round and round

Cross your fingers now don't think twice

Luck is the greatest labour saving device

And while we await the roll of the dice

A little theme music might be nice

One more time, let's hear that song again

One more time, I can't remember how it ends

Take us back to the part about have and have not

Cause and effect

How's it go? I forgot, one more time

Such a simple refrain about how

But don't ride the bus if you can't make the change

What good is painting with a ruler?

And why write the book that you just read?

Still it seems convention beats invention

Down in the word of "as good as it gets"

So here comes something you already know

Not hard to guess at what's in store

And after all this is gold-radio-o

Oh yes you've heard this song before

Why can't we be nostalgia resistant

And do what's perfect from instant to instant?

Why do we always carve it down in stone?

Worship our heroes and hate our villains

Take any protection from making decisions

Sweet music we all get attached but

Seems this record's stuck on a scratch

One more time, let's hear that song again

One more time, I can't remember how it ends

Take us back to the part about have and have not

Cause and effect

How's it go? I forgot

One more time, such a simple refrain but

No one was listening

Won't you play it again?

Play it again for all it's worth

Play it again for all it's worth

Play it again for all it's worth

Play it again for all it's worth

I can analyze, criticize, demonize, politicize, apologize and rationalize

But can I harmonize?

One more time, let's hear that song again

One more time, I can't remember how it ends

Take us back to the part about have and have not

Cause and effect

How's it go? I forgot

One more time, such a simple refrain but

No one was listening

Won't you play it again?

One more time, let's hear that song again

One more time, I can not remember how it ends

Take us back to the part about have and have not

Cause and effect

How's it go? I forgot

One more time, such a simple refrain but

No one was listening

Won't you play it again?
