Lyrics
REVOLVING AROUND ITSELF
“A tell me Mr where did the world turn so wrong?
Was it when they cut u open & sold your soul for a song?”
“I tell ya now son we were so innocent then
But I swear by my sword it’s u I tried to defend”
Nothin’s gonna change, unless there’s
Somethin’ that ur gonna change
Hey hey hey, a tell me which-a-way
The world’s goin’, the world’s goin’
Is it the whole world, re-he-volvin’
A-ha-round n’ a-round itself &
I just don’t know which way 2 go, oh
Feels like the whole world’s
Revolvin’ ‘round itself oh no
I say, “tell me my brother do u believe in the news?”
& u say “I don’t worry I, I just don’t wanna lose”
I tell ya now son u r the man of the hour
Soon as u can see so don’t b so blinded by the power
Soon as u can walk got ta stand tall don’t cower
Hey hey hey, a tell me which-a-way
The world’s goin’, the world’s goin’
Is it the whole world, re-he-volvin’
A-ha-round n’ a-round itself &
I just don’t know which way 2 go, Oh na-na-no
Feels like the whole world’s
Revolvin’ ‘round itself oh no…HO!
Hey hey hey, can ya tell me which-a-way
The world’s goin’, the world’s goin’
Is it the whole world, re-he-volvin’
A-ha-round n’ a-round itself &
We just don’t know which way 2 go, Oh na-na-na-na-no
Seems like we got no direction at all
Feels like the whole world’s
Revolvin’ ‘round itself oh no
