Winding Down

Alright

Boat's on the water, wings in the sky

Feet on the ground, my oh my

Big storm risin' out of the east

You can cage that tiger but you can't tame the beast

World be revvin' up and I be winding down

Yes I will

Because the world keep revvin' up and I be windin' down

(Yeah) Oh yeah (Then what happen?)

We got blood in the classroom, all in the streets

Blood on the hands of bloody Wall Street (I hear ya)

Sirens screaming all through the night

Chasing that fire, done got too big to fight

World be revvin' up, I be windin' down

(I hear ya, baby) Oh yeah

Well, the world be revvin' up and I be windin' down

Yes I am

Put a man on the moon but we can't feed the children

Can't find work to save my soul

Transplant a heart but we can't find a cure

Makin' test tube babies then we send 'em off to war

World be revvin' up and I been windin' down

(Yeah) Oh yeah (c'mon)

World be revvin' up and I be windin' down

(I hear ya) Yes I am

Oh, world be revvin' up, I be windin' down

(Come on, Sammy)

Oh yes, I am windin' down

(I hear ya, son) Windin' down
