Something's Gotta Give

Something
Something's gotta change
It's never enough
When you've got the right stuff
I'm banging my drum all day

You know I'm stone cold sober
until it's all over
But it don't matter anyway
I hope they're amused
cause I'm being used
My life is carved in stone

C'mon
Try to understand
Something
Something's gotta give
Something
Something's gonna give ya
what you want
But you ain't gonna believe
When it stares you in the face
you won't see

Nothing
Nothing's going right
Nothing
Nothing in the middle of the night
when you wake up in a sweat
and your memories
you just can't forget

Everything's changing
Even the changes are changing
I'm riding this train
with its path cast in steel
and I'm going insane

Holding on to whatever's left of this handle
And I'm holding on tight, because

Something
Something's gonna give
Something's gonna give
When the sky falls
Watch the levee break
The walls are gonna
crumble and cave

How many times
do you think you can kill me
but I ain't gonna die
Look over here
the devil's new best friend
waving goodbye

Holding on to whatever's left of this handle
And I'm holding on tight, because

Something
making a change
With the world going
around and around and around
I want to stop and arrange
Who knows what's gonna happen tomorrow
But do I really care

Something
Something's going to give
Something's gotta give
When your time is gonna come
You'll see
the pendulum will swing your way

Everything's wasted
Even my friends are all wasted
I'm dry as the heels of my shoes
from walking all around town

Holding on to whatever is left of this handle
I'm old enough
that I'm on the last leg of this battle
And I'm holding on tight, because

Something
C'mon
Bring it on
Something
C'mon
Something
Something's gotta give
I can't wait
Something's gotta give
