Glen Hansard - Wheels On Fire Lyrics






Well you say, you won
You'll work until the work is done
I don't see you lift a hand
To help out one of your fellow man

And they're using us up again
But I won't be no puppet on a string

Your wheels on fire
Your one desire
Is to roll and rule over everyone
Come on let them do it
We see right through it
You can roll and rule
But we will overcome

You say, you won
The talk until all the talk is done
I see you move your mouth
But I hear nothing of any weight come out

And you're calling
On out the [?] again
You're talking, talking
But you're not really saying anything

Your wheels on fire
Your one desire
Is to bend and twist every little thing we've done
Come on and do it
We see right through it
You can bend and twist
And we'll be holding strong

You're building us up just to tear us down
You think that nothing's gonna stop you now
But I hear you're preaching from a nervous throne

Your wheels on fire
Your one desire
Is to point and push your will on everyone
Come on and do it
It's so like you
You can point and push
But we will overcome

Your wheels on fire
Your one desire
Is to turn and twist [?]
Come on and try it
But no-one buys it
You can turn and twist
But we will overcome
We will overcome

    Well you say, you won
    You'll work until the work is done
    I don't see you lift a hand
    To help out one of your fellow man
    And they're using up again
    But I won't be no puppet on a string
    Your wheels on fire
    Your one desire
    Is to roll and rule over everyone
    Come on then do it
    We see right through it
    You can roll and rule
    But we will overcome
    You say, you won
    The talk until all the talk is done
    I see you move your mouth
    But I hear nothing of any weight come out
    And you're calling
    On out the feed again
    You're talking, talking
    But you're not really saying anything
    Your wheels on fire
    Your one desire
    Is to bend and twist every little thing we've done
    Go on and do it
    We see right through it
    You can bend and twist
    And we'll go holding strong
    You're building us up just to tear us down
    You think that nothing's gonna stop you now
    But I hear you're preaching from a nervous throne
    Your wheels on fire
    Your one desire
    Is to point and push your will on everyone
    Go on then do it
    It's so like you
    You can point and push
    But we will overcome
    Your wheels on fire
    Your one desire
    Is to tear and twist and then you'll be gone
    Go on then try it
    No-one buys it
    You can turn and twist
    But we will overcome
    We will overcome

    Lucky enough to have this album already. It’s just brilliant. Total left turn and new layer. You’re gonna love it.

    Kristen Hudson there’s a song called ‘One of us must lose’ that has become my favourite song of all Glens songs. It’s incredibly good. So beautiful.

    d.... d....

    Why do you already have the album? Is the majority of the album in this style as I don't like it that much. I preferred his more acoustic work...

    d.... d....

    Perdchen Snoopy Were family. Don’t worry this one it’s deeply acoustic. Treat. https://youtu.be/Gx9EaZWWYWU

    Alanna White there’s definitely some roots of that coming through to be sure :) which is no bad thing. It’s a great thing :)

    I love The Frames, so I couldn't agree more!
