The road is long With many a winding turn That leads us to who knows where Who knows where But I'm strong Strong enough to carry him He ain't heavy, he's my brother
So on we go His welfare is of my concern No burden is he to bear We'll get thereFor I know He would not encumber me He ain't heavy, he's my brother

We could just go home right now Or maybe we could stick around For just one more drink, oh yeah Get another bottle out Lets shoot the shit Sit back down For just one more drink, oh yeah
Here's to us, here's to love Here's to all the times that we fucked up Here's to you, fill the glass 'Cause the last few days have kicked my ass So lets give 'em hell Wish everybody well, here's to us, here's to us
Now, the roving gambler he was very bored Trying to create a next world war He found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor He said, "I never engaged in this kind of thing before But yes, I think it can be very easily done We'll just put some bleachers out in the sun And have it on Highway 61"
Look in my eyes, what do you see? The cult of personality I know your anger, I know your dreams I've been everything you want to be I'm the cult of personality Like Mussolini and Kennedy I'm the cult of personality The cult of personality The cult of personality
Neon lights, a Nobel Prize Then a mirror speaks, the reflection lies You don't have to follow me Only you can set me free I sell the things you need to be I'm the smiling face on your T.V. I'm the cult of personality I exploit you still you love me
