It's my turn, it's not your turn
It's my turn, get outta my way
It's my turn, go on, complain
I'm coming through anyway

Don't ask me why I'm like this
But lately I'm wondering if it'll come to pass
That the last shall be first and the first shall be last
Then the voice says

Here's the way it oughta be
You, then me, then you, then me
Well, I pray one day we'll all agree
And take it you, then me, then you, then me
Life could go you, then me, then you, then me

It's easy, you wait, then go
It's easy, so make your move
It's easy, don't clown around
Could've gone six times by now

But no sir, you gotta be a pain
Or is this your way of saying
We should all cool down
And be more like the Man who was born back in Bethlehem town?
I betcha He'd say…

Here's the way it oughta be
You, then me, then you, then me
Well, I pray one day we'll all agree
And take it you, then me, then you, then me
Life could go you, then me, then you, then me

If we could only put You first
Maybe this ugly trend could one day be reversed

It's your turn, it's not my turn
It's your turn, well, let's just say
We'll trade off, first you, then me
Then after that, we might agree

Let's try it, it could be good
And what if one day it should really come to pass
That the last shall be the first and the first shall be last
Betcha we'd say…

Here's the way it oughta be
You, then me, then you, then me
Well, I pray one day we'll all agree
And take it you, then me, then you, then me
Life could go you, then me, then you, then me, yeah
