LyricsFinders Keepers© 2015 Starburst-Sahlen If winners take the spoils And the losers eat the cake* And the meek inherit nothing While the wealthy feast on steak Will the promise of forever Really live beyond this life Or will none of us remember After dying in the night? (chorus) Finders keepers, losers weepers Selfishness abounds I smell trouble in the rubble Of this truth that I have found Holy smoker, legal toker Take another look Finders keepers, losers weepers Mind games are afoot If my brother is my keeper And my enemy my friend Will the distant dance for freedom Ever reach its final end? Will the naysayers find wisdom The soothsayers the will To launch a road for humans To use the worlds' best skills (chorus) Finders keepers, losers weepers Selfishness abounds I smell trouble in the rubble Of this truth that I have found Holy smoker, legal toker Take another look Finders keepers, losers weepers Mind games are afoot (bridge) Shaker, shaker, premiere baker Share cake with us Mother Nature help us fakers Live today or bust (chorus) Finders keepers, losers weepers Selfishness abounds I smell trouble in the rubble Of this truth that I have found Holy smoker, legal toker Take another look Finders keepers, losers weepers Mind games are afoot Finders keepers, losers weepers Mind games are afoot * see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_them_eat_cake "Let them eat cake" is the traditional translation of the French phrase "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche", supposedly spoken by "a great princess" upon learning that the peasants had no bread. Since brioche was made from dough enriched with butter and eggs, making it more expensive than bread, the quote supposedly would reflect the princess's disregard as to the condition of the people. |
