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
