Each verse describes one of the reasons we reincarnate: 1. Unfinished frustrations. Come back tor justice, in this case, revenge. 2. Unsatisfying love. Come back to find soul mate. 3. Something for nothing. Come back to find right occupation.
In the mornin you go gunnin'
For the man who stole your water Anger
And you fire till he is done in And revenge
But they catch you at the border Running from responsibility
And the mourners are all singin' Now you're dead
As they drag you by your feet Now without honor
But the hangman isn't hangin' But death isn't the end
And they put you on the street So you are back on earth
CHORUS:
You go back Jack do it again A new incarnation
Wheel turnin' 'round and 'round The wheel of life
You go back Jack do it again Try brotherly love next time!
When you know she's no high climber Bad choices
Then you find your only friend Lost trust
In a room with your two timer Jealousy
And you're sure you're near the end Life sucks!
Then you love a little wild one Going for lust instead of love
And she brings you only sorrow Doesn't work
All the time you know she's smilin' She knows your addiction
You'll be on your knees tomorrow You're addicted to love
CHORUS
You go back Jack do it again A new incarnation
Wheel turnin' 'round and 'round The wheel of life
You go back Jack do it again Seek true love next time!
Now you swear and kick and beg us You lie about who you are
That you're not a gamblin' man Pretend you work for it
Then you find you're back in Vegas Go to the Babylon of
With a handle in your hand Something for nothing
Your black cards can make you money Lust for money
So you hide them when you're able Makes you a cheater
In the land of milk and honey But after you're dead
You must put them on the table You can't hide who you are
CHORUS You go back Jack do it again A new incarnation
Wheel turnin' 'round and 'round The wheel of life
You go back Jack do it again Try honesty next time!
