Musical Chairs

(album: Quaker City Quiet Pills - 2023)

You better take a sit
Or else you will be beat
You can't rely on friends
After the music ends
Eliminate the weak
You're on a winning streak
You must not delay
If you want to play

Musical chairs
Where will you be when the music stops?
Musical chairs
What will you do when the needle drops?

You must be quick to act
Nobody's got your back
If you can't sit down
You'll have to leave this town
And you mustn't share
It's just a single chair
It's not a bench or pew
A seat for one, not two

Musical chairs
Where will you be when the music stops?
Musical chairs
What will you do when the needle drops?

Musical chairs
Life is not fair
When you play
Musical chairs

Eliminate the weak
You're on a winning streak
You must not delay
To have another play
You must compete
If you want to sit
If you are too slow
Then you'll have to go

Musical chairs
Let's all stand up for sitting down
Musical chairs
We're all getting dizzy going 'round and 'round

Musical, musical chairs
You must not share
When you play musical chairs
Life is not fair in
Musical chairs

They increase demand
And reduce supply
You don't even bother
To ask why
You have no time to run
Your chair's been folded, son
Must soon leave this place
Let's go to outer space

Musical chairs
Where will you be when the music stops?
Musical chairs
What will you do when the needle drops?
