Je score:
Saturday morning, yeah I come in late Just to find if you were there Just to look at your long brown hair And dream a dream out in the hall Was that my name that's just been called? I don't know, it could be Have you got something to tell on me? If you got something to tell on me, babe It better be good Even though you hate me so much I'm still comin' back Like you knew I would You can't believe What I been through these last few months It's very difficult to tell the difference Between the trumps and the down home dumps Only one thing I can say to you Even if you don't believe it's true It's true It's our turn now To find out where we're going It's our turn now To find out where you've been It's our turn now To keep the new direction It's your turn now To cast off all your sin Fellatia, Fellatia, how do you plead? You don't have to plead For anything that you really need Plead, have mercy When the wind starts blowin' hard And this cardboard world we're livin' in It ain't forgotten, out in the yard Out in the yard Where the air is cold And there ain't no leaves to fall He's lookin' hard at the ground for somethin' Somethin' that won't show up I keep lookin' back over my shoulder Couple of good friends goin' by Pour some wine over their fire Don't let the tears stay in your eyes He's not gone so very far I know he's very near 'Cause every time I call his name I know that he can hear It's our turn now To find out where we're going It's our turn now To find out where you've been It's our turn now To keep the new direction It's your turn now To cast off all your sin Hey, Mr. Roberts, don't you tell me no lies I don't mind you being vain Pick up the phone in your whitewashed house Simpering that same refrain Three to five more years Is all you got For you to do your nasty thing Making rain, suffering pain Telling everybody that it's in his name His name, whose name What are you telling me? I don't believe your tales Too many people in this world Don't like being snails If you gonna do it Better get it together Better go and make the change Do it right now Do it while it's warm Do it while it's there within your range It won't be so very hard You better have no fear 'Cause by the time you get it done It'll be so clear It's our turn now To find out where we're going It's our turn now To find out where you've been It's our turn now To keep the new direction It's your turn now To cast off all your sin
