Hey now, the well run dry Pages of your book on fire Read the writing On the wall Hoe down, it's a show-down Ev'rywhere you look, we're fighting Hear the call And you know it's gettin' stronger I can't last very much longer Turn to stone Well there's a change in the wind You know the signs don't lie Such a strange feelin' And I don't know why it's takin' Such a long time Backyard people And they work all day Tired of the speeches and the way That the reasons keep changin' Just to make the words rhyme And you know it's gettin' stronger Can't make 'em run much longer Turn to stone
