You Then Me Then You Then Me Lyrics

Ceili Rain You Then Me Then You Then Me

It's my turn, it's not your turn
It's my turn, get outta my way
It's my turn, go on complain
I'm comin' through anyway

And don't ask me why I'm like this
But lately I'm wonderin' if
It'll come to pass
That the last shall be first
And the first shall be last
And then the voice say:

"Here's the way it oughtta be:
'You then me then you then me'
I pray one day we'll all agree
And take it 'you then me then you then me'
Life could go you then me then you then me"

That's my food, don't touch my food
That's my wine, don't spill a drop
Or I'll whack you across your face
And drop you out of the human race

See I got me the urge to kill
But I wish we could take a pill
So we'd all cool down
And we'd talk like the Man who was
Born back in Bethlehem town
I betcha He'd say:

I coulda sworn I was here first
Well if I'm not the best, hey I'm sure not the worst
No not me baby

It's your turn, it's not my turn
It's your turn - well let's just say
We'll trade off - here let me light
And pass the peace pipe down your way

Well try it, it could be good
And what if some day it should
Really come to pass
That the last shall be first
And the first shall be last
I betcha we'd say:
