Scratch Lyrics by Roger Miller (Rock)

Win! Instantly!

0

[Verse 1]
Happy were the humans what invented the machine
And combining mathematical equations
We were able to keep track of things which
Were not supposed to be kept track of anyways
Lucky I was gone when they handed out the cards
Do not mutilate or perforate my person
And they haven't guessed
That I'm not supposed to be in here, no
But I want the good life and luxuries the same as any other jerk
[Chorus]
I work all day and I work all night
But how do I know if it'll turn out right?
I turn all day and I turn all night
But how do I know if it'll work out right?
The mechanical dog stares from the ditch
It's hard to scratch that kind of itch
The mechanical dog stares from the ditch
It's hard to scratch that kind of itch
Scratch, scratch, scratch...
[Verse 2]
Out of the dark into the day-glo day
In the glowing water we'll swim all day
Out of the dark into the day-glo day
In the glowing water we'll swim and play
Staring at the buildings underneath the lake
Staring at the buildings underneath the lake
Roll over the line and perforate
Roll over the line and perforate
Roll over the line and perforate
Roll over the line and perforate
[Bridge]
Inside colored grey
Walls make smoke again
Blind numbers fall and scream
"Please forgive our crimes
Because on our own we are blameless"
[Chorus]
I turn all day and I turn all night
But how do I know that it'll work out right?
I work all day and I work all night
But how do I know that it'll turn out right?
The mechanical dog stares from the ditch
It's hard to scratch that kind of itch
The mechanical dog stares from the ditch
It's hard to scratch that kind of itch
Scratch, scratch, scratch, scratch
Scratch, scratch, scratch, scratch
