Koko Taylor - What Came First The Egg Or The Hen lyrics

Hey you may be a hater, you may be a lover You can bet your life one destroys the other I don't know how it all began Which come first, the egg or the hen Now tell me which come first, the egg or the hen? Like fire puts out the water, you know water puts out the fire Like a lie destroy the truth, you know the truth destroys the lie Like white covers the black, you know the black it covers the white Like night covers the day, you know the day it covers the night You may be a hater, you may be a lover I bet your life one destroys the other I don't know how it all began Which come first, the egg or the hen

Now tell me which come first, the egg or the hen? Like the bad destroys the good, you know the good destroys the bad Like the glad destroys the mad, you know the mad destroys the glad Like cold destroys the hot, you know the hot destroys the cold Like the old are smarter than young, you know the young overpower the old You may be a hater, you may be a lover I bet your life one destroys the other I don't know how it all began Which come first, the egg or the hen You tell me which come first, the egg or the hen? You tell me which come first, the egg or the hen?
