Showdown
Do you ever get offended by the way things never change?
Did you ever try religion but you just get by the pain?
There's gonna be a showdown, gonna be a showdown
There's gonna be a showdown comin' 'round right here
Did you ever meet a beggar that was once a rich man's son?
Did you ever see a lady who was gypsy on the run?
There's gonna be a showdown, gonna be a showdown
There's gonna be a showdown comin' 'round right here
(instrumental)
Well I know you think I'm crazy & that time just fades away
Well, of this thing I'm certain: see the crossroads every day
There's gonna be a showdown, gonna be a showdown
There's gonna be a showdown, there's gonna be a showdown, yeah
Showdown
