lyrics

I really really want it
You know I really do
I want my slice of chocolate cake
and I want to eat it too
But everything costs something
In blood or sweat or tears
Everything costs something
and this is clear:
Gravity always gets its man, gets its man.

The price of tea is china
and the price of me is you
The price is inconsequential
it’s just the thing we do
So get out your old green checkbook
Get out your wallet or purse
Your credit is bad but your promise
is so much worse
Gravity always gets its man, gets its man.
