[Outro - Glenn W. Turner]

(alternate between A and E)

"And give you instant belief, cause you don't have instant belief
You've been hooked, you've been crooked
You've been lied to so many times, that you're suspicious-minded
And when the right thing comes along, you don't believe in it
When I'm coming in knocking on the front door
You're out the back door looking for four leaf clovers
And when you find it, you think somebody planted it there to fool you
'What's the angle?' You look for an excuse"
