Well there's crying in the kitchen and there's fighting in the street |
|
And there's cocaine in the schoolyard yet my heart don't miss a beat |
|
And the preacher's on the telly and he's handing me the phone |
|
Got an ulcer in his belly and a torment in his soul |
|
He can't let go - oh he can't let go |
|
Everybody wants a contribution, telling me they've got the best solution |
|
No one wants the carousel to slow down, seems to me we're heading for a showdown |
|
And there's poison in the water and there's holes up in the sky |
|
And the children keep on asking "Is the planet going to die?" |
|
You must let go - oh you must let go |
|
Got to get fired - it's going to get hot |
|
We got to take it higher, give it everything you got |
|
oh - oh, you never know, oh way to go |
|
Everybody's talking revolution, politicians offer no solution |
|
No one seems to want to face the lowdown |
|
Seems to me we're heading for a showdown' |
