I've
been
pounded
ground
down
and
smashed
all
around
in
the
cycle....rock
cycle
I've
been
thrown
up
and
blown
up
to
the
ozone
in
the
cycle..rock
cycle
I've
been
eroded,
corroded
and
motherloaded
Melted
and
pelted
and
ore
smelted
I've
been
chipped
and
dipped
and
stripped
and
skipped
in
the
cycle...rock
cycle
I've
been
aerated
and
slated
and
conglomerated
in
the
cycle...rock
cycle
Been
seized
and
squeezed
and
wheezed
and
sneezed
in
the
cycle...rock
cycle
Been
pressed
and
stressed
to
form
a
mountain
crest
Been
torn
down
and
worn
down
and
reborn
Going
round
and
round
like
wheels
on
the
ground
in
the
cycle...rock
cycle
Moving
slowly,
that's
the
way
to
go
Going
round
and
round.....
It's
elementary
to
be
sedimentary
rock
in
the
cycle...rock
cycle
It's
trees
chic
to
be
a
metamorphic
rock
in
the
cycle...rock
cycle
If
you've
been
two
kinds
of
rock,
well
you
can't
talk
Till
the
cycle's
complete
-
now
that's
a
feat!
Get
serious
be
an
igneous
rock
in
the
cycle....rock
cycle
Well
I
was
molten
lava
down
in
Java
in
the
cycle....rock
cycle
I
was
a
fossilized
bean
in
the
Pleistocene
in
the
cycle...rock
cycle
I
was
a
cobblestone
in
ancient
Rome
A
marble
Buddha
in
Calculate
Been
around
the
world
in
three
billion
years
on
my
cycle...rock
cycle
Moving
slowly,
that's
the
way
to
go
Been around the world.....
