Things Gonna Break

lyrics

Fog on the river rolling lazy
Mean ole' world comin' down all over me
Got to move along I got love to make ...Sooner or later things gonna break

Bought me a pistol bought me a gun
If something is gonna come then let it come
Nothin' gets lost when there's nothin' at stake ...Sooner or later thing gonna break

In the evening when the sun sinks and the pressure drops
Call your doctor call your lawyer call your neighborhood cop
The streets rioteers they won't be running late ...Sooner or later things gonna break

Well your mama wouldn't know you when revolution comes down
Things 'll be different at least for a little while
A foe 'll be civil to ya you'll find friends to be fake ...Sooner or later things gonna break

Lock up in shelter get your belly full
Live by your faith forget all the rules
Ain't gonna matter what you can or can't take ...Sooner or later things gonna break

Whether your white, whether your black, whether your Muslim, or Jew
Don't matter what you've done or what you're planning to do
You may be sleeping you may be wide awake ...Sooner or later things gonna break

Roll out a rug to 'em you can be a kind soul
The more you wish to learn the more they'll let you know
There a tough competitor who's deeds ain't of faith ...Sooner or later things gonna break

Well the night has brought fore-warning like chill on the bone
In this age of restlessness where you're never really alone
I got to move along I got love to make ...Sooner or later things gonna break
