Ry Cooder - Which Came First Lyrics
(willie dixon & ry cooder)You may be a hater, you may be a loverYou can bet your life one destroys the otherI dont know how it all began, which came firstThe egg or the henThe moon comes up and the sun goes downThis old world keeps spinning aroundJust as sure as the day turns into the nightWhat you do in the dark will turn up in the lightMasked man ridin out across the landSpreading destruction and moving his handHe carries a ray-gun, shoots from the hipGot your past in his pocket, your futures in his gripYou may be a hater, you may be a loverYou bet your life one destroys the otherI dont know how it all began, which came firstThe egg or the henNow, you bet your life without a doubtAsking a masked man to leat you outHes got you so tight that you cant even seeThat ray-gun is pointed right at you and meYou wont see it comingYou wont feel the blowYou wont get no warningYou wont never knowYou cant start it soonerAnd fix it up laterAnd you aint going to read about it in the newspaperRich or poor, mighty and meekDont need no ticket, youve all got a seatHigh up on the mountain, low down in the alleyWell all watch the world turn into death valleyYou may be a hater, you may be a loverYou can bet your life one destroys the otherI dont know how it all began, which came firstThe egg or the henBetter shake my hand cause time is winding upShake your neighbors hand cause time is winding upYou may be a hater, you may be a loverYou can bet your life one destroys the otherI dont know how it all began, which came firstThe egg or the hen
