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.

I hear you knockin' but you can't come in

I hear you knockin' but you ain't gon' win

I hear you knockin', I hear you knockin'

I hear you knock, knock, knock, knock, knockin'

Workin' day and night

Gotta get up and pay my bills

People want what they want

They don't care about how you feel

You ain't gon' get me today

You better move out of my way

I got a whole lot to live for

Don't wanna hear the blues today

Economy down, said news

'Cause we bought the war

Change comes like the wind

Now I know what hope is for

I see the sun on my face and you won't hear me complain

Hey, 'cause I can't let the dark days

Bring me down, got a lot of things to say

Don't be knockin' at my door

I hear you knockin' but you can't come in

I hear you knockin' but you ain't gon' win

I hear you knockin', I hear you knockin'

I hear you knock, knock, knock, knock, knockin'

I hear you knockin' but you can't come in

I hear you knockin' but you ain't gon' win

I hear you knockin', I hear you knockin'

I hear you knock, knock, knock, knock, knockin'

People always usin' other people

Tryin' to get ahead

Runnin' after the light

Never thinkin' about they said

Hey, what's the matter with you?

You need to watch what you do

Hey, you got to get your head straight

Live your life and do what he told you to do

Early sunday mornin'

Preacher talkin' 'bout savin' souls

He said, "I don't have all the answers

I'm just here to try to let you know"

Every time that you pray a blessin' comes right away

Don't let the hard times take your spirit

Move the devil away

Don't be knockin' at my door

I hear you knockin' but you can't come in

I hear you knockin' but you ain't gon' win

I hear you knockin', I hear you knockin'

I hear you knock, knock, knock, knock, knockin'

I hear you knockin' but you can't come in

I hear you knockin' but you ain't gon' win

I hear you knockin', I hear you knockin'

I hear you knock, knock, knock, knock, knockin'

Don't be knockin' at my door

I hear you knockin' but you can't come in

I hear you knockin' but you ain't gon' win

I hear you knockin', I hear you knockin'

I hear you knock, knock, knock, knock, knockin'

I hear you knockin' but you can't come in

I hear you knockin' but you ain't gon' win

I hear you knockin', I hear you knockin'

I hear you knock, knock, knock, knock, knockin'
