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

            A5                   A5
I can't let go, no he can't let go

A5
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

             A5                   A5
He can't let go, no he can't let go

F5           A5          D5
Everybody wants a contribution
F5             A5              D5
Telling me they've got the best solution
F5                A5           D5
No one wants the carousel to slowdown
F5                A5              D5
Seems to me we're heading for a showdown

A5
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?"
            A5               A5
We must let go, we must let go

A5          D5           A5            D5
Got to get fired - it's going to get hot
                     A5
We've got to take it higher,
                      F5
give it everything we got
      A5
oh ? oh
     A5
Oh - oh, you never know,

A5
Oh! Way to go!

Everybody's talking revolution
F5          A5          D5
Politicians offer no solution
F5               A5                D5
No one seems to want to face the lowdown
F5                A5             D5
Seems to me we're heading for a showdown

A5
For a Showdown
A5
For a Showdown
