Lyrics
25 Years
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.
Here the children, breakin' bottles
Sprayin' there names underneath the freeway
Don't you worry, 'bout your possessions
They don't want your TV anyway
Hear them say, hey
Ahh ahh ahh
It's gonna take all day
Hey hey hey
Ahh ahh ahh
It's gonna take all day
Fell that sunshine, on your faces
It's sendin' you off to an early gave
The supermarket, food is poison
You are not the one that they will save today
Ahh ahh ahh
It's gonna take all day
Hey hey hey hey
Ahh ahh ahh
It's gonna take a while, for you to get some satisfaction
The world is changin' untill it's endin'
While we're pretendin' we know what's goin' on
The philosophers and politicians
Try to predict where the hell we come from
Ahh ahh ahh
It's gonna take all day
Hey hey hey
Ahh ahh ahh
It's gonna take all day
Ahh ahh ahh
It's gonna take a while,
For you to get some satisfaction
Yeah eah eah
It's gonna take all day
