Definite Maybe letra

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)
