Hey now, the well run dry
pages of your book on fire
read the writing
on the wall

hoe down, it's a show-down
ev'rywhere you look, we're fighting
hear the call

and you know it's gettin' stronger
i can't last very much longer
turn to stone

well there's a change in the wind
you know the signs don't lie
such a strange feelin'
and i don't know why it's takin'
such a long time

backyard people
and they work all day
tired of the speeches and the way
that the reasons keep changin'
just to make the words rhyme

and you know it's gettin' stronger
can't make 'em run much longer
turn to stone
