Gather 'round people
And I will spin you all a tale
About a train that was off and running
Long before we laid the rail
Gather 'round people
There's something I wanna tell
This world can be a jail cell, carousel
But sometimes it's hard to tell
Centuries turn, we learn
Nothing from folklore
Kings will have kingdoms
and warriors wars
Pass the bottle, pass the torch
Time takes time to pass
The future ain't here yet
But it's coming pretty fast
I don't think you'll live forever,

It's been like a piece of gold to a cat,
Pearls to swine, no matter
Mother Earth will swallow us
In caskets of knotty pine
We are poor wayfarin' strangers
Travellin' through this world of woe
Misquoting preachers sayin'
There's got to be a better place to go
Centuries turn, we learn
Nothing from folklore
Kings will have kingdoms
and warriors wars
Pass the bottle, pass the torch
Time takes time to pass
The future ain't here yet
So this is what we get
I don't think you'll live forever,
