Fly in the Ointment, Pt. 1

It's an ancient proposition
You can't win for losing

Ever since the world began
People started making plans
Working hard to try to see them through
But in the end, they all got screwed

Fly in the ointment
And it's stinkin' up the joint
Can't conceal my disappointment
There's just no end to the bad news

It's the wisdom of the ages
Premonitions from the sages

Whenever something right goes wrong
It never seems to take too long
Before the whole damn thing just goes to shit
Just like the lyrics of this song

Fly in the ointment
And it's stinkin' up the joint
Can't conceal my disappointment
There's just no end to the bad news

Say it!

Fly in the ointment and I hope you understand
The purge of the nations is upon the common man
The whole situation is beyond your command
A turn of events is going to do you in
I said yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh-huh, oh yeah
