Magnum (band) - Vicious Companions lyrics

Don't invite the vicious companions Though they're always at your side Only waiting to take you a ride Feel the creature rise inside you With misguided ill intent Look around, it's your only defence On and on the story goes Where it leads to we all know What you give is what you get What you give See the hungry cry for the children Watch the greedy call for more And the self-ordained proceed to shut the door When the needy run from the table For they know there's nothing there Hoping one day, will somebody care? On and on the story goes Where it leads to we all know What you give is what you get What you give is what you get We've got to be good, got to be strong The final approach is taking too long Too late in the day, when everything's gone Now the villain, he may prosper And the thief might do as well With amusement, their crimes they dispel The promises they've broken And the hearts they have betrayed End to end they are carefully laid On and on the story goes Where it leads to we all know What you give is what you get What you give is what you get On and on the story goes Where it leads to we all know What you give is what you get What you give is what you get
