Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Crazy preachers of our doom Telling us there is no room. Not enough for all mankind And the seas of time are running dry. Don't they know it's a lie... Man is born with the will to survive, He'll not take no for an answer. He will get by, somehow he'll try, He won't take no, never let go, no... I hear them talk about Kingdom Come, I hear them discuss Armageddon... They say the hour is getting late, But I can still hear someone say, This is not the way... [Repeat]
