We Want A Rock Lyrics

    Where was i? i forgot
    The point that i was making
    I said if i was smart that i would
    Save up for a piece of string
    And a rock to wind the string around

    Everybody wants a rock
    To wind a piece of string around
    Everybody wants a rock
    To wind a piece of string around

    Throw the crib door wide
    Let the people crawl inside
    Someone in this town
    Is trying to burn the playhouse down
    They want to stop the ones who want
    A rock to wind a string around
    But everybody wants a rock
    To wind a piece of string around

    Throw the crib door wide
    Let the people crawl inside
    Someone in this town
    Is trying to burn the playhouse down
    They want to stop the ones who want
    A rock to wind a string around
    But everybody wants a rock
    To wind a piece of string around

    If i were a carpenter i'd
    Hammer on my piglet, i'd
    Collect the seven dollars and i'd
    Buy a big prosthetic forehead
    And wear it on my real head

    Everybody wants prosthetic
    Foreheads on their real heads
    Everybody wants prosthetic
    Foreheads on their real heads

    Throw the crib door wide
    Let the people crawl inside
    Someone in this town
    Is trying to burn the playhouse down
    They want to stop the ones who want
    Prosthetic foreheads on their heads
    But everybody wants prosthetic
    Foreheads on their real heads

    Throw the crib door wide
    Let the people crawl inside
    Someone in this town
    Is trying to burn the foreheads down
    They want to stop the ones who want
    A rock to wind a string around
    But everybody wants a rock
    To wind a piece of string around
