Every Trick In The Book

Roger Hodgson

Well every trick in the book that you want to play


You better have a good answer to get your way


'Cause all the tricks that you pulled, and all the people you fooled


Well you started something





Well all the people that liked you just went on home


And when they could've stood by you, you stood alone


'Cause all the people you fooled and all the people you took


Well you started something





And all the signs in your head call out you're dead


But all the preachers went home and left you alone





And all the women that liked you, you fooled around


And when you got them inside you, you turned them down


'Cause all the women you fooled, and all the women you took


Well you started something





And all the lines in your head call out you're dead


And all the teachers went home and left you alone





Monkeys to the left, monkeys feeling right at home


Too many people, too many walking alone


And though they say they don't like it, you know they really don't mind


If you started something





But all the signs in your head, call out your dead


And all the teachers went home and left you alone
