Well there's crying in the kitchen
And there's fighting on the street
And there's cocaine in the schoolyard
Yet my heart don't miss a beat
I can't let go, oh I can't let go

And the preacher's on the telly
And he's handing me the phone
Got an ulcer in his belly
And a torment in his soul
He can't let go, no he can't let go

Everybody wants a contribution
Telling me they've got the best solution
No-one wants the carousel to slowdown
Seems to me we're heading for a showdown

And there's poison in the water
And there's holes up in the sky
And the Children keep on asking
Is the planet going to die?
We must let go - we must let go

Got to get fired - it's going to get hot
We've got to take it higher
Give it everything we got
Oh you never know
Way to go

Everybody's talking revolution
Politicians offer no solution
No-one seems to want to face the lowdown
Seems to me we're heading for a showdown
