"Someday Soon" lyrics
"Someday Soon"
They keep talking of the things they'd do if we'd only vote them in
One more dollar and all the bickering and suffering would end
If you'd sign your 'X' in favour it's three jobs for every man
You can burn your boats, thats what they said
It seemed they had it planned
And I hope they haven't forgotten, the promises they made
Cause they said they'd stop the fighting
And they said they would bring peace
And they said they'd find a serum that can cure all our disease
And they said they'd house the homeless
And put black and white in tune
And they said they'd feed a hungry child
And I hope it's someday soon
Saw a man sleep in an alley lane with a paper for a bed
And the headline shown beneath the man and this is what they read
"If elected there would be no persons living in the street"
But the paper couldn't even provide shelter for his freezing feet
And I hope they haven't forgotten, The promises they made
Cause they said they'd stop the fighting
And they said they would bring peace
And they said they'd find a serum that can cure all our disease
And they said they'd house the homeless
And put black and white in tune
And they said they'd feed a hungry child
And I hope it's someday soon
Well they said it would be so different, if we'd would only play their games
And I've been playing for so long and I swear its still the same!
Cause they said they'd stop the fighting
And they said they would bring peace
And they said they'd find a serum that can cure all our disease
And they said they'd house the homeless
And put black and white in tune
And they said they'd feed a hungry child
And I hope it's someday soon
Cause they said they'd stop the fighting
And they said they would bring peace
And they said they'd find a serum that can cure all our disease
And they said they'd house the homeless
And put black and white in tune
And they said they'd feed a hungry child
And I hope it's someday soon

Someone he can talk to
A good friend he can lean on

And you think all our money looks pretend

Yeah
