| Way down here on these dead end streets | |
| People live in doubt and fear | |
| And it kept them down for oh so long | |
| Now their time is getting near | |
| Well, I don't know where | |
| I don't know how | |
| I don't know when | |
| But I'll tell you right now | |
| One of these days, you'll cross that line | |
| The people gonna take you by surprise | |
| They're gonna look their leaders in the eye | |
| One of these days, you'll cross that line | |
| The people gonna think with their own minds | |
| They're gonna leave the system for behind | |
| How many of us spend our lives | |
| On the outside lookin' in | |
| Well, it seems they got us all convinced | |
| That we're never gonna, never gonna win | |
| I don't know where | |
| I don't know how | |
| I don't know when | |
| But I'll tell you right now | |
| One of these days, you'll cross that line | |
| The people gonna take you by surprise | |
| They're gonna look their leaders in the eye | |
| One of these days, you'll cross that line | |
| The people gonna think with their own minds | |
| They're gonna leave the system for behind | |
| Do you really think we'll ever stop | |
| Lookin' for as brighter day | |
| While it looks today like you're on top | |
| It could never stay that way | |
| One of these days | |
| One of these days | |
| One of these days... |
