Yes I'm Ready (If I Don't Get To Go)

(앨범: (For God's Sake) Give More Power To The People - 1971)

(Ooh, I'm ready, yes I'm ready)

For the schoolhouse across town
The city park and playground
The places where kids' joys are found
I'm standing and waiting (yes, I'm waiting)
With hopes the bus will show (yes, I'm waiting)
I'm ready if I don't get to go (yes, I'm ready)

For the halls of high learning
A decent way of earning
The good life for mankind
I'm no longer debating
I'm anxious to know
I'm ready if I don't get to go (yes, I'm ready)

I know the facts
And I know how to fight back
But fighting is for fools to hurt each other
But if this is what I must be
I will stand like a tree
Cause there's so much good and love
For man to discover, to discover (to discover)
Oh, I'm ready if I don't get to go (yes, I'm ready)

I'm ready cause of what I been through
Maybe you should be ready too
I've been roughing and fighting
Toughing and tightening
Now open up the door (open up the door)
See what I'll do
Oh, I'm ready (yes, I'm ready) if I don't get to go (yes, I'm ready)

I've been laughed at and talked about
By those who claim to be friends
I've been criticized, disputed
But I refuse to give in
Oh, I'm ready (yes, I'm ready) if I don't get to go (yes, I'm ready)
I'm ready (yes, I'm ready) if I don't get to go (yes, I'm ready)
Yes, I'm ready (yes, I'm ready) if I don't get to go (yes, I'm ready)
Yes, I'm ready if I don't get to go
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah

Oh, I'm ready (yes, I'm ready) if I don't get to go (yes, I'm ready)
I'm ready (yes, I'm ready) if I don't get to go (yes, I'm ready)
Yes, I'm ready if I don't get to go (yes, I'm ready)
I'm ready if I don't get to go (yes, I'm ready)
Yes, I'm ready if I don't get to go (yes, I'm ready)
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yes, I'm ready)
Oh, I'm ready if I don't get to go (yes, I'm ready)
