Heat goes up and rain won't fall We've run so far it's time to crawl And we all forget each lesson learned We played with fire and now we'll all get burned Gonna have to sweat it out Can't ignore it or pass the blame While lovers walk in acid rain Feed the world was just a song They want to bleed the world and build a bomb Gonna have to sweat it out But how long will it take Til the message gets through to you A change is due, starting here with me and you Gonna have to sweat it out Gonna have to work it out And politicians, theives and banks Together help us all walk the plank They offered us the very best Until our souls are repossessed If we're so sharp, how come we're falling apart We've been the fools We've kept on bending the rules Our rise and fall has taken no time at all For what it's worth the meek inherit the earth What's left behind just makes them angry and blind Too late to try, just kiss the whole world goodbye
