Hodgson Roger Showdown Lyrics

Showdown Lyrics

Well there's crying in the kitchen
and there's fighting on the street
And
there's cocaine in the schoolyard
yet my heart don't miss a beat
I can't
let go - oh I can't let go
And the preacher's on the telly
and he's
handing me the phone
Got an ulcer in his belly
and a torment in his
soul
He can't let go, no he can't let go
Everybody wants a
contribution
Telling me they've got the best solution
No onewants the
carousel to slow down
Seems to me we're heading for a showdown
And
there's poison in the water
and there's holes up in the sky
And the
children keep on asking
"Is the planet going to die?"
We must let go, we
must let go
Got to get fired - it's going to get hot
We've got to take it
higher,
give it everything we've got
oh - oh, you never know, oh way to
go
Everybody's talking revolution
Politicians offer no solution
No one
seems to want to face the lowdown
Seems to me we're heading for a showdown
