What's a gene between good friends
Said the monkey to the king
If you think yourself superior
You'll never learn a thing
Don't believe you're here to stay
Life gets you in the end
It's time to find out who you are
You lie and I'll pretend
What a life the lady cried
I've seen so many things
A range of human beings
From criminals to kings
All my life I've really tried
To treat them all the same
They travel the same journey
From the cradle through to grave
Goalless draw
Goalless draw
Goalie's got the ball
Goalless draw
Goalless draw
Goalie's got the ball
Goalless draw
Goalless draw
Goalie's got the ball
Goalless draw
Goalless draw
Goalie's got the ball
Get the ball
Get the ball
Get the ball
Let me pass my memories on
My life is not my own
This is a shared experience
I'll send you my condolences
Engraved upon your stone
Get the ball
Get the ball
Goalless draw
Goalless draw
Goalie's got the ball
Goalless draw
Goalless draw
Goalie's got the ball
Goalless draw
Goalless draw
Goalie's got the ball

Goalless draw
Goalie's got the ball
He's got the ball
He's got the ball
He's got the ball
He's got the ball
Get the ball
Said the monkey to the king
If you think yourself superior
You'll never learn a thing
Don't believe you're here to stay
Life gets you in the end
It's time to find out who you are
You lie and I'll pretend
What a life the lady cried
I've seen so many things
A range of human beings
From criminals to kings
All my life I've really tried
To treat them all the same
They travel the same journey
From the cradle through to grave
