Little by little, we stagger through life, filling our pockets with change,
Never concerned how bitter the end,
Gamble our lives away,
'Round and 'round, the centuries come and go,
None the wiser, wise men laugh and joke.
Rhyme and reason,
Don't wanna listen, hey,
Gonna answer anyway,
Rhyme and reason.
Ashes to ashes, to dust I'll return; this we all understand,
From where I came I...I b-b-brought nothing with me, ha-ha,
Gonna take much the same,
On and on, by now you'd think we'd learn,
Millions have died, never to return.
Rhyme and reason,
Don't wanna listen, hey,
Gonna answer anyway,
Rhyme and reason.
It's what I know, not what I see,
There is a spirit inside of me, yeah,
I will arise when I've died to give account on the other side,
Go.
Ashes to ashes, to dust I'll return; this we all understand,
From where I came, hey, I b-b-brought nothing with me,
Gonna take much the same.
Rhyme and reason,
Don't wanna listen, hey,
Gonna answer anyway,
Rhyme and reason,
Rhyme and reason,
Don't wanna listen, hey,
Rhyme and reason,
Rhyme and reason,
Don't wanna listen, hey,
Gonna answer anyway,
Rhyme and reason
