Why go through this elaborate ruse?
Just do what you’re gonna do
If you go on treatin people bad
You’ll get what’s comin to you

3.

I know it was you who knocked those towers down
What’re you tryin ta prove?
There ain’t no sense in pushin people round
When you’re the one with somethin to lose

4.

I remember the day my fear went away
It hasn’t been seen since
I was waitin for a sign, it came down the line
Now I’m singin it ta you

5.

If you’re much like me, you surely will agree
We ain’t got much time left
If you’re more like them, my words might offend
In the verses comin up next

6.

Get up out your seats and dance in the streets
Your life belongs to you
When they come with their guns, they’ll find noone
At least not old me and you

7.

It’s gettin on time to get together
It’s gettin on time to try
It’s gettin on time to look at the weather
Rain cloud’s a-blowin in the sky

(Repeat first verse)
