"The Record Plays On" lyrics

Everyone's sayin' the world's 'bout to end
We've been here before, and we'll be here again
Sunshine or rain, let me tell you, my friend
That the record plays on

There's always a struggle, some lost soul to save
But this side of heaven, no, it ain't gonna change
A tale old as time, cradle to grave
Tale old as time
And the record plays on

On and on, we've been singin' it all along
Goin' 'round and around, but honey, don't let it bring you down
It's just a different melody to the same damn song
And the record plays on

History repeats, no, we're not the first
Some things will get better, and some will get worse
Things will get better
It's been written before, chapter and verse
And the record plays on

On and on, we've been singin' it all along
Goin' 'round and around, but honey, don't let it bring you down
It's just a different melody to the same damn song
And the record plays on, yeah
Oh, the record plays on

We're in this together, can't we understand
Gotta get busy livin' and love while we can
Love while we can
If it's all how we see it, then it's all in our hands
All in our hands
And the record plays on
Yeah, the record plays on

Everyone's sayin' the world's 'bout to end
We've been here before, and we'll be here again
