Well there's crying in the kitchen and there's fighting in thestreet And there's cocaine in the schoolyard yet my heart don't miss abeat 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 bestsolution No one wants the carousel to slow down, seems to me we're headingfor 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
