Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I said it gonna come
I said it gonna come
[Verse 2]
See that man sit'n in front of the borderline
He ain't got the time to argue what's yours and what is mine
See that man hold'n his hand out in desperation
He don't see salvation, no God and sure no nation
[Verse 3]
We all work'n for the means to the end of our situation
We all hope'n for the day that the powers see abdication and run
I said it gonna come Lord, I said it gonna come
See that, see that, see that man
[Verse 4]
See that man sit'n in front of the jewelry store
He can't walk no more, he just too damn poor
See that man hold'n his eyes from the glaring sun
He ain't got no one, his hopes have been undone
[Verse 5]
We all work'n for the means to the end of our situation
We all hope'n for the day that the powers see abdication and run
I said it gonna come, Lord, I said it gonna come
See that, see that, see that man
[Verse 6]
Nothing good comes from nothing
Nothing comes from nothing good
Why you spend the whole day bluff'n?
Come on man, do what you should
What you mean, the world ain't easy?
What you mean, the world ain't mine?
Last I checked there were no price tags
Hang'n on them shady pines
What you say when you say nothing?
What you mean when you say lies?
Politician, tell me something
What you got behind them eyes?
[Verse 7]
'Cause we all hope'n for the day the powers see abdication and run
I said it gonna come, Lord, I said it gonna come
See that, see that, see that man
See that, see that, see that man
(See) That man
(See) That man
(See) That man
(See) That man
Our brother if you can (See)
Look to my brother if you can (See)
See that man
