Lyrics
The Wheel Goes Round
Bach/Mac
Her Mama worked the corner Of thirty first and broad
Strung out on a horse she couldn't tame
Her daddy was a photograph tacked up to the wall
All she knew about him was his name
B Now she's a dancer on the showgirl stage
Same old story, different page
CH And the Wheel goes round Over familiar ground
A never ending chain Wrapped in denial and shame
The tradition handed down As the wheel goes round and round
His daddy used his fists whenever he got drunk
Told him he was useless everyday
Everybody knew that there was trouble in that house
But they always looked the other way
B Now he servin time til he's twenty one
Filled With rage Like father like son
CH And the Wheel goes round Over familiar ground
A never ending chain Wrapped in denial and shame
The tradition handed down As the wheel goes round and round
Solo
Sins of the parents like a legacy
Children do what children see
CH And the Wheel goes round Over familiar ground
A never ending chain Wrapped in denial and shame
The tradition handed down As the wheel goes round and round
