Lyrics
All your life you let things slip by
Never really seeing things through
When you wake up and drink from your cup
The coffee won't clear the view
Why do you ask then let things slip past
Nothing ever happens for you
All your prayers does anyone care
All the things you plan but don't do
Why do they say there's just no way that you can have it all
Well, poly wants a cracker
Fido wants a bone
You want wealth and power
You want to hold your throne
Taking your time seems like no crime
But you're standing in your own way
You get up and get out
With all of your doubts
Want to buy but you won't pay
Why can't you see what you could be
Take advantage of every day
You want it all but then you just stall
Know the answers but you won't say
Why do they say there's just no way that you can have it all
Well poly wants a cracker
Fido wants a bone
You want wealth and power
You want to hold your throne
But why do they say there's just no way that you can have it all
But poly wants a cracker
Fido wants a bone
You want wealth and power
You want to hold your throne
