I only bring this up Cause of what all's going down All the nasty rumors That are floating here about Up and down the sidewalk That and this side of town All pointing to what the world's been doing
I seen it in the papers Even watched it on T.V. Keep thinking of the saying All that you see you can't believe This time I think they're making A bigger fool of you and me With all the things that the world's been doing
Yes a fool of us their making But it's time that we weren't bought Take it the way they gave it With a grain of salt Lift the latch on top our heads And pour out all those thoughts To what they tell us that the world's been doing
I may have arrived here early But I ain't staying late It's going to take no time at all Saying what I gotta say I know the right direction And I'm not heading in the way To any part of what the world's been doing
