lyrics

Oh Jack, I won't go your way,
Oh Jack, I won't go your way,
That's just the road to ruin.
The opposite of this is that
Lay down your hat
Go send for the cat
And find a good room

You're still at the party
And there's no end in sight
You know that the party
Goes on all night, every night, every night

Oh Jack, the answer
Is not in the ocean
Oh Jack the answer
Is not at any extreme
That's just the way it seems:
That every square is white or black
And you walk in between

Oh Jack, all these old faces and..
Now Jack, bringing neophytes to the game
They all know your name
Bounding in or bowing out
You're going against the grain

You're still at the party
And there's no end in sight
You know that the party
Goes on all night, every night, every night

Oh Jack, I won't go your way,
Oh Jack, I won't go your way,
That's just the road to ruin.
The opposite of this is that
Lay down your hat
Go send for the cat
And find a good room
