Gimme the Eyes - Electric Six

My mama used to say

There are two type of eye

The kind that tell the truth

And the kind that tell a lie

And these days

It’s getting harder

To similize

Which eyes tell the lie

Now when you see that pyramid

Lookin' up at that big ol' eye in the sky

You gonna think of money

And that money is mine

Ha-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

I will be Mike

And you will be Steve

We both think alike

And we both believe

In a closed society

Formed with perilous blight

It flies in the face

Of your wrongs and rights

We are here

By some crazy coincidence

The happiest of accidents

If we may get word to the wise

Let’s get austere

And dot the T’s and cross the I’s

When love turns into lies

It dies, so gimme

Gimme the eyes

Don’t gimme the eyes

When a dog begins to walk and sing we re-prioritize

We re-prioritize

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

I’m incomplete

And you’re just like me

We’re both indiscreet

And we both agree

That we’re going nowhere

And we like it that way

So take your shot you blew away

Save it for another day

And we drink beer

And masticate the beef we carve

While the little children starve

You know that we’re those guys

Look in the mirror

See the result of all those fries

And lack of exercise

Exercise so gimme

Gimme the eyes

Don’t gimme the eyes

When you come to New York

See what your money buys

See what your money buys

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

One of us prays

While the other chooses darker ways

But we both get what we came for

And these are days

We really should really put our hate away

Why are you still fighting in the same war

Hey!
