GET AHEAD

It's getting to me subliminally

The kids on the cover never smile

 

I get ahead

I get ahead

I get ahead on the things I said

​

Don't know why

Can't explain

Oh what the hell's

Become of me

 

It's getting to me subliminally

The kids on the cover never smile

​

We want large amounts

In a current account

​

I get ahead get ahead get ahead get ahead

I get ahead get ahead get ahead get ahead

​

I get ahead

I get ahead

I get ahead on the things I've said

​

Get ahead

Tow the lie

Get ahead

On a narrow mind

​

The kids on the cover never smile

The kids on the cover never smile

The kids on the cover never smile

The kids on the cover never smile

The kids on the cover never smile

The kids on the cover never smile

The kids on the cover never smile

The kids on the cover never smile

​

Two men on the run

And a man with a gun

And a suitcase full of money

 

Cut.

 

Two men on the run

And a man with a gun

And a suitcase full of money

​

Cut.

​

And what if they don't what's in the suitcase

And neither do the men who are after them

And neither do you

​

Whooooh!

​

Hollywood here we come

Got another fucking story of a man with a gun

​

Cut - cut- cut

​

Two men on the run

And a man with a gun

And a girl in car

And the long long legs

With the long blonde hair

And a short short skirt

She always seems to wear

In every single scene.

​

Two men on the run (cut-cut-cut-cut)

And a man with a gun 

(Is there space for a car chase)

And a girl in car

With the long blonde hair

And the long long legs

And a short short skirt

She always seems to wear

In every single scene (repeats)

 

Don't know why can't explain

Oh what the hell's become of me?

​

...and the plot's full of holes 

...and no one seems to mind

​

Cut - cut -cut -cut

​

Get ahead

Tow the lie

Get ahead

On a narrow mind

​

Don't know what's become of me.
