[Chorus:]
Nothing changes cause it's all the same,
The world you get's
The one you give away,
It all just happens again,
Way down the line…
There is a chain that's never broken,
You know the story,
It's sad but true:
An angry man
Gets drunk and beats his kids,
The same old way
His drunken father did,
What comes around…
Well, it goes around.
[Chorus]
At 17 Shannon is pregnant,
As young as her mom
When she had her,
Her kid is never gonna have a dad,
The same old way that Shannon never had.
What comes around…
Well, it goes around.
[Chorus]
And all the things you learn
When you're a kid, you'll fuck up
Just like your parents did,
It all just happens again,
Way down the line…
And welfare moms
Have kids on welfare,
And fat parents,
They have fat kids too,
You know it's never gonna end,
The same old cycle's gonna start again,
What comes around… Well, it goes around.
[Chorus]
