And Eat It Too

It's just a simple fact The candles are all stacked You tried real hard to cut the wheel You can't keep up with them As much as they would wish It started with a twitch You've never missed a stitch Your weathered hands have turned to stone You can't rely on them As much as you would wish You can't have your cake and eat it too You can't have your cake and eat it too You can't have your cake And eat it too It's all been plagiarized Don't look so surprised These words have gone around They've spun around When simple minds are led astray They've got you hypnotized You've lived another day You just can't stay away A pound of flesh from you won't do Deprived of site and ivory too The only way to pay You can't have your cake and eat it too You can't have your cake and eat it too You can't have your cake And eat it too
