Well there`s crying in the kitchen
and there`s fighting on the street
And there`s cocaine in the schoolyard
yet my heart don`t miss a beat
I can`t let go - oh I can`t let go
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, no he can`t let go
Everybody wants a contribution
Telling me they`ve got the best solution
No onewants 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?
We must let go, we must let go
Got to get fired - it`s going to get hot
We`ve got to take it higher,
give it everything we`ve 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
