Verse:
One day you blew across the water after racing through the countdown,
Spewing ancient wisdom like your friends the revelations had come,
And they were looking for me.
I took the red-eye back to glory but the more I got the facts straight,
It turns out that the story's getting shorter,
And what I want to know is: will it happen to me?
Chorus:
(riff 2 below) A B E
Can't take them out, can't take them out with baby artillery.
Can't take them out, can't take them out,
Lady, it's secretarial. Secretarial.
(riff 3)

Verse:
We've been divided, we've decided it's a problem we can live with,
The motion to defeat it is repeated,
And what I want to know is: will it happen to me?
So come on, let the son in, we've been gunning for promotion,
Postering the slogans on the roadsigns,
But I want to know when it happens to me.
