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 the 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
