You Turn The Screws
Cake
Prolonging The Magic (1998)

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-mic 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

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>

and the cement-mixer gets it all ready
one good turn at a time
they're pouring it slowly and steady
you're showing me where i can sign
what i can expect to find
but how can you say you'll be happy
when you turn the screws

you turn the screws it's what you choose to do
you turn the screws it's what you choose to do
you think i must turn them too

you turn the screws you tear down the bridge
flimsy as it is it's business like
flimsy as it is it's open-mic punk punk rock
red white and blue
you turn the screws
