People fly, people flee
People clam and say, "It wasn't me"
People fish, people beef
People arm to teeth

Yes, you've got people on the tube
Walking on the moon
People at the bottom of the sea
People in tombs
And People in igloos
Even a tribe of pygmies
(Oh-oh-oh)

People are the mainspring
Turning the world around
(Oh-oh-oh)
People, they're the mainspring
Spinning this world upside down
Oh-oh-oh

People sun, people toast
People tire while other people smoke
People bowl, people rock
People pay to see two people box

Watch me, face me
Dress me, baby me
Phone me, wire me
House me, bug me, fire me
(Oh-oh-oh)

People are the mainspring
Spinning the world around
(Oh-oh-oh)
People, they're the mainspring
Turning this world inside out

Ah

People are the mainspring
Turning the world around
(Oh-oh-oh)
People, they're the mainspring
Spinning this world upside down

People are the mainspring
Turning the world around
People, they're the mainspring
Spinning this world around

Spinning this world around

Oh the mainspring, spring
