Song Lyrics

Long time comin'
Long time before the dawn

Turn, turn any corner
You gotta turn away
Hear what the poeple say
Somethin', somethin' is going on around here (somethin' going on, somethin' going on)
And it surely, surely can't stand allowed there

And it appears to be a long
Appears to be a long (appears to be)
Appears to be a long (such a long time)
Time
Long time
Long time

Speak out, you got to speak out against the madness,
You got to speak your mind if you can and dare
Don't you, don't you get yourself elected
You might have to, you know you're gonna have to shave your hair
And it appears to be a long
Appears to be a long (appears to be a long time)
Appears to be a long
time
Long time
Long time (before the dawn)

Well i'm up on the hill, right before the dawn,
born looking south into the sea
I'm bleached down and out, with an ear to the ground,
I check for the fire through the land
Picking the bark with our fingers, one sick power
Hand had me movin', can't stay in control
Things getting stranger, they're stranger every year
Fear come to hunt, feedin' off the land
Well it might rain, and it might not
You might get juked, and we might not
It might rain, and it might not
It might get juked, and we might not

Getting later
It's getting later
It's getting later
It's getting later

And it appears to be a long (appears to be)
Appears to be a long (such a long time)
Appears to be a long
Time
Long time
Long time comin' on

Long time comin'
Long time comin' (you know, you know the dawn is coming)
Long time comin' (just before the dawn, just before the dawn)
Long time comin' (it's a long time comin')
Long time comin' (long time, long time)
Long time comin'
