Everything Must Go Lyrics by Steely Dan

Everything Must Go Lyrics

    It's high time for a walk on the real side
    Let's admit the bastards beat us
    I move to dissolve the corporation
    In a pool of margaritas
    So let's switch off all the lights
    Light up all the Luckies
    Crankin' up the afterglow
    Cause we're goin' out of business
    Everything must go

    Talk about your major pain and suffering
    Now our self-esteem is shattered
    Show the world a mighty hidey-ho face
    As we go sliding down the ladder

    It was sweet up at the top
    'Til that ill wind started blowing
    Now it's cozy down below
    'Cause we're goin' out of business
    Everything must go

    We gave it our best shot
    But keep in mind we got a lot
    The sky, the moon, good food and the weather
    First-run movies—does anybody get lucky twice?
    Wouldn't it be nice…

    Tell me can you dig it Miss Fugazy
    Now it's gone from late to later
    Frankly I could use a little face time
    In the service elevator
    And if Dave from Acquisitions
    Wants to get in on the action
    With his Handicam in tow
    Well we're goin' out of business
    Everything must go

    Can it be the sorry sun is rising
    Guess it's time for us to book it
    Talk about the famous road not taken
    In the end we never took it
    And if somewhere on the way
    We got a few good licks in
    No one's ever gonna know
    'Cause we're goin' out of business
    Everything must go
