Somethings Gotta Give
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A little feeling in my gut that I get of late
When I think about these cats running the world with hate
I say: something's gotta give
Got the whole world fighting for the Texas Chief
Got a letter for you, got a letter for me
But the kettle's leaking like a sieve
There's a puddle on the floor
There's a puddle in the sky
The kettle's leaking so much man it's burning my eyes
Can't you just throw that damper out
On the subject of throwing stuff away
I know some deaf men who can't hear a word we say
No matter, No matter how loud we do shout
And I say...
Something's gotta give right now boy
Something's gotta give right now
Something's gotta give right now man
Something's gotta give right now
I was reading the newspaper just yesterday
Got the headlines reading God bless the USA
And I thought: God Bless Everyone
God bless the people in New York when they were attacked
God bless the children being bombed there in Iraq
God bless the goddamn junkie with a monkey on his back
God bless everybody under the sun
Cause the world ahead will end If we don't have love
Do your job and pay attention to God above
But eventually the only guarantee will be that the tea in your tank will run dry
Coz without love you know there aint no life
You can duplicate it and bottle it up all you like
But it doesn't mean you're gonna get another try
Get another try boy
Something's gotta give right now boy
Something's gotta give right now P-Yoo
Something's gotta give right now man
Something's gotta give right now
I Said..
Something's gotta give right now boy
Something's gotta give right now (Yeah)
Something's gotta give right now
Something's gotta give right now.....
