Things Are Gonna Get Worse

Don't hold no hope in the soul of man

Don't put no trust in tomorrow's plans

People still fighting for the promised land

Don't you know we're all sinking down?

Don't believe a word comes with no condition

Don't get nothin' in this world for free

It takes a lot of bread to be a politician

Can't you see we're all sinking down?

Things are gonna fall apart before they ever come together

Have to wander around before we ever find center

Think it's hard now? We're in for nasty weather

Things are gonna get worse before they ever get better

I know my darkness, blinding as night

My soul don't look as bad when it don't see the light

I try to hide it away, get it out of sight

But I know I'm just sinking down

And the one thing I know is I need rescue

Can't save myself from what I am

What makes us hope for a tomorrow to get to

Without knowing we're doing the dance of the damned?

Things are gonna fall apart before they ever come together

Have to wander around before we ever find center

Think it's hard now, it's turning harder than ever

Things are gonna get worse before they ever get better
