Definite Maybe Lyrics

Got a letter through the post That says I don't exist Apparently the new computer Thinks I won't be missed
We need more facts perhaps you would find out and forward them There's no proof or trace or date or place or where or when Central Information's got no news today (Today) Is there a change in my position? (No decision, no decision)
All I ever get is a definite maybe
Head Office thinks I'm dead but I'm not even ill How do I get attention, tell me who I have to kill? Is there a change in my condition? (Not today) The answer comes with repetition (No decision, no decision)
Round and round the circle goes Stood in line but the counter was closed And when I ask, "Who is responsible?" Nobody knows, try one of those
All I want is a yes or a no (All he wants is a yes or a no) But all I ever get is a definite maybe Tried to make my life a misery But they don't want to know They don't want to know They don't want to know
And all I ever get is a definite maybe (No decision, no decision)
Surely there must be a way to open all the doors And wade through all the petty bureaucratic little laws Frustration everywhere I turn, I just get more and more Everyone's got problems and they've heard all mine before
Oh, I'm tired of making endless calls (Somebody help this poor man) Banging my head against the wall I walk along an endless corridor Then I knock on the door then I realize That I've been there before
No one here can hear my case So all I ever get is a definite maybe When they say, "No news today, get back in the queue" What can I do, what can I do, what can I do?
(No decision, no decision) No decision All I ever get (No decision) Is a definite maybe (No decision)
