As the world turns around us, it’s not easy to say
Who is friend and who is foe, I don’t know
What’s the point of persistence, when the pay is a slap in my face
Tell me something I don’t know, I need hope…

Then I’ll say “It’s all you say, your dad’ll never come anyway”
(And I’ll say) “It’s all you do, but that won’t change the truth”

Your mama and my mama sat around the fire
Your mama and my mama sat around the fire

So I’ll say “It’s all you say, your dad’ll never come anyway”
(And I’ll say) “It’s all you do, but that won’t change the truth”

As the world turns around us, it’s not easy to stay
Stay standing at all times, at least in mind
As our troubles surround us, it’s so easy to play
That little game of blame, and fade away

(And I’ll say) “It’s all you do, but that won’t change the truth”
You say a “goal would help”, but the game is the goal in itself
Then I’ll say “It’s all you say, your dad’ll never come anyway”
(And I’ll say) “It’s all you do, but that won’t change the truth”

That/cause

Your mama and my mama sat around the fire
Your mama and my mama played around with fire
Your mama and my mama sat around the fire
Your mama and my mama played around with fire
Your mama and my mama sat around the fire
Your mama and my mama played around with fire
Your mama and my mama sat around the fire
Your mama and my mama played around with fire
