I'm aware you are out fishing
A little robin digging up dirt
I know you see me as efficient,
When there's rain in my life you'll come pulling up worms
You're gonna screw yourself over,
If you don't believe in something or other, because
You've got another thing coming
Like a train rolling 'round the bend
Maybe you have been out fishing
Looking for a sucker with something to lose,
Going back home with your hook all chewed
You'd be lucky if the stars even shine for you
You're gonna screw yourself over,
If you don't believe in something or other, because
You've got another thing coming your way
Like a train rolling 'round the bend
Like the weather ever-changing,
You're changing and changing for everyone
And maybe they're not out fishing
But don't you think that they're gonna catch on?
You're gonna screw yourself over, and over
If you don't believe in something or other, because
You've got another thing coming your way
Like a train rolling 'round the bend
You'd be lucky if the stars even shine for you
