Big Boys in Bad Shape Songtext
von Trout Fishing in America

Big boys in bad shape
Fast cars with bad brakes
Anybody′s guess what it takes anymore
Tough guys in a tight fit
Loose lips sink ships
But nobody knows what to say anymore
Wake up in the morning invent the wheel every day
Once you get it rolling you just watch it roll away
Watch it roll, roll, roll away. Watch it roll
Talk show with a top spin
Hard sell for the big win
Make it all up as you're going along
Top dog in a tight jam
Good job for the ad man
Brand new version of the same old song
You tell me it′s important then you tell me that it's not
Once a wheel gets rolling you know it's hard to make it stop
Watch it roll, roll, roll away. Watch it roll


There′s a world out here and no one′s watching
It's a beautiful world spinning out of control
We put our faith in heroes
Where do they put theirs?
Watch them stumble like children as they tumble down the stairs
Decoy on a duck pond
Sit still it won′t be long
They'll come flocking ′round here any day
Fill your pockets with fool's gold
We got the mother lode
Can′t take it with you, can't give it away
Wake up in the morning, invent the wheel every day
Once you get it rolling you just watch it roll away
Watch it roll, roll, roll away. Watch it roll
Watch it roll. Roll, roll, roll away. Watch it roll
Watch it roll. Roll, roll, roll away
Gonna watch it roll. Watch it roll
Roll, roll, roll away, Gonna watch it roll
