lyrics

Spin spin spin spin spin spin
Spin spin spin spin spin spin

it’s easy to get dizzy in a world full of spin,
when you try to keep your eyes wide open
trying to see through all the stuff there is to buy into,
Trying to cultivate a thicker skin, impermeable
to the spin doctors and the special offers, the whirling turnstiles,
changing hairstyles
the spinning cursors on lap top screens, the whirling screens of slot machines, the city

Spin spin spins, spin spin spin
Spin spin spin spin spin spin

Faster than Fox News anchor on leaking oil tanker,
a presidential speech writer,
a back-peddling banker
Like a wheel of fortune you spin until you win, trying to navigate a path
Through this world we’re caught up in

Spin spin spin Spin Spin Spin
Spin spin spin spin spin spin

trying to stay free in
a world that’s busy trying to catch us in it’s clever spinning web
words twist together with the thoughts in my head
raw fibers that form a continuous thread
that twist and turn, turn and twist:
Spin: Resist. Spin: Resist.
like the foot meets resistance when it pushes on the pedal,
resistence is how we move this piece of metal forward.

Without resistance, we’d never get anywhere.
Without resistance, we’d never get anywhere.

spin spin spin spin spin spin
spin spin spin spin spin spin

would you speak your mind, would you fight to win?

Spin Spin Spin

Would you cover yourself in slogans?

Spin Spin Spin

What would you do for freedom?

Spin spin spin, spin spin spin
Spin spin spin Spin spin spin

Two wheels is where so much begins
