Survey Says

(album: "!" - 1996)

Survey says it was a bad idea in the first place
Never been that drunk in my life
As I got down on my hands and knees
And asked you to be my husband I mean wife
Two days later, still coughing up blood
I sat down to write this letter
With a clearer head and a heart full of lead

Engine is running, power's going down
Engine is going, tires are sinking deep into the ground
Engine is running, but the times are going by slower than ever
Engine is going, crossing still an
Impossible line

When you know it's going to work
It makes you, breaks you, all the same now
California doesn't know what hit it, admit it
Got them by the balls
One lost Pinto gets them to the border in order
All we need now

Army is running, the hands and legs are locked with paper clips
Army is going, but the anthrax still persists
Army is going, but the cavalry still hasn't saved the day yet
Army is running, crossing still an impossible line

When you know it's going to work
It makes you, breaks you, all the same now
California doesn't know what hit it, admit it
Got them by the balls
One lost Pinto gets them to the border in order
All we need now

One, two, cha-cha-cha!

Survey says it was a chest-high fastball
Survey it was a bunch of nonsense!
