Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Way down here on these dead end streets
People live in doubt and fear
And it's kept them down for, oh, so long
And now their time is gettin' near
[Verse 2]
Well, I don't know where (Yeah, yeah)
I don't know how (Yeah, yeah)
I don't know when (Yeah, yeah)
But I'll tell you right now
[Verse 3]
One of these days you'll cross that line
The people gonna take you by surprise
They're gonna look their leaders in the eye (Yeah)
One of these days you'll cross that line
The people gonna think with their own minds
They're gonna leave the system far behind (Yeah)
[Verse 4]
How many of us spend our lives
On the outside lookin' in?
Well, it seems they got us all convinced
That we're never gonna, never gonna win
[Verse 5]
I don't know where (Yeah, yeah)
I don't know how (Yeah, yeah)
I don't know when (Yeah, yeah)
But I'll tell you right now, yeah
[Verse 6]
One of these days you'll cross that line
The people gonna take you by surprise
They're gonna look their leaders in the eye (Yeah)
One of these days you'll cross that line
The people gonna think with their own minds
They're gonna leave the system far behind (Yeah)
[Verse 7]
(Mazel tov, now here's the truth)
[Verse 8]
Do you really think we'll ever stop
Lookin' for a brighter day?
While it looks today like you're on top
It could never stay that way
[Verse 9]
(One of these days)
(One of these days)
(One of these days)
(One of these days)
(One of these days)
(One of these days)
(One of these days)
[Verse 10]
(Mazel tov, now here's the truth)
