Hey Robbie are you ready for
this - I'm always ready Tom,
You know that
I think you were born ready - Ha ha, Come On

I was born long ago 
I am the chosen, I'm the one 
I have come to save the day 
And I won't leave until I'm done 
So that's why you've got to try 
You got to breath and have some fun 
Though I'm not paid I play this game 
And I won't stop until I'm done 

But what I really want to know is 
Are you gonna go my way? 
And I got to got to know 

I don' t know why we always cry 
This we must leave and get undone 
We haven't changed and rearranged 
And turn this planet back to one 
So tell me why we got to die 
And kill each other one by one 
we've got to love and rub-a-dub 
We've got to dance and fall in love 

But what I really want to know is 
Are you gonna go my way? 
And I got to got to know 

But what I really want to know is 
Are you gonna go my way? 
And I got to got to know got to know
