Sunset Rubdown - They Took A Vote And Said No lyrics

One, two, three Bum-ba-da-dum, bum-ba-da-dum, bum-ba-da-dum, bum-ba-da-dum Bum-ba-da-dum, bum-ba-da-dum, bum-ba-da-dum, Ba-da-da He's just a kid, he wants a ride They took his ears, they took his eyes They said a ride is never free He couldn't hear, he couldn't see Well, there are things that have to die So other things can stay alive The fire burns, it burns to give It has to burn a life to live The elder men spoke low They took a vote and said no They turned around real slow Where did they go, where did they go? And the question, oh the question Can the kid keep his eyes If the fire doesn't die, say nooooooooooooo I said nooooooooooooo I said, "You don't know what king we serve, boy, Oh you don't know what things we employ!" The elder men spoke low They took a vote and said no They turned around real slow Where did they go, where did they go? Bum-ba-da-dum, bum-ba-da-dum, bum-ba-da-dum, bum-ba-da-dum Bum-ba-da-dum, bum-ba-da-dum, bum-ba-da-dum, Ba-da-da And the question, oh the question Can the kid keep his eyes? If the fire doesn't die Can the kid keep his eyes? Oh the question, oh the question Can the kid keep his eyes? If the fire doesn't die I said, be careful what you wish for Oh be careful what you wish for And be careful 'round the fire light And be careful 'round the bright, bright lights Cause the fire never dies so the kid lost his eyes Oh, that's how it goes, baby, that's how it goes, baby That's how it goes, baby, that's how it goes
