And Eat It Too
It's just a simple fact
The candles are all stacked
You tried real hard to cut the wheel
You can't keep up with them
As much as they would wish
It started with a twitch
You've never missed a stitch
Your weathered hands have turned to stone
You can't rely on them
As much as you would wish
You can't have your cake and eat it too
You can't have your cake and eat it too
You can't have your cake
And eat it too
It's all been plagiarized
Don't look so surprised
These words have gone around
They've spun around
When simple minds are led astray
They've got you hypnotized
You've lived another day
You just can't stay away
A pound of flesh from you won't do
Deprived of site and ivory too
The only way to pay
You can't have your cake and eat it too
You can't have your cake and eat it too
You can't have your cake
And eat it too
The candles are all stacked
You tried real hard to cut the wheel
You can't keep up with them
As much as they would wish
It started with a twitch
You've never missed a stitch
Your weathered hands have turned to stone
You can't rely on them
As much as you would wish
You can't have your cake and eat it too
You can't have your cake and eat it too
You can't have your cake
And eat it too
It's all been plagiarized
Don't look so surprised
These words have gone around
They've spun around
When simple minds are led astray
They've got you hypnotized
You've lived another day
You just can't stay away
A pound of flesh from you won't do
Deprived of site and ivory too
The only way to pay
You can't have your cake and eat it too
You can't have your cake and eat it too
You can't have your cake
And eat it too
