Tables Will Turn
(专辑: The Individualist - 1995)
Water, water everywhere and not a
place to stand My foundation rests on bedrock But the
bedrock rests on shifting sand Once the
mighty jungle gave way to the
streets Now the
city's a
jungle again Every time the
cycle completes It's like nothing ever had changed Tables will turn, tables will turn, tables will turn Tables can turn When will I
learn that tables will turn Tables can turn It was always my hope to repay All those favors that you would endow Though I
took what I
could yesterday Where are the
crumbs when I'm so hungry now? And the
wind cries "Merry Christmas, Happy 4th of July" When will I
see you again? Sometimes it's not safe to fly 'til Tables have turned This is the
law and we didn't make it But daily we twist it and bend it and brake it And to prove just how little we understand it We act as if it's just like we planned it We're in a
state of constant revolution 'Cause we got a
small problem with our distribution And if the
balance of power needs arranging Then the
situation's got to keep changing And if you start messing 'round with the
ratio It's like trying to ride a
seesaw solo 'Cause the
further you get from the
middle You throw the
balance off little by little "Class distinctions come naturally" You think that that can justify the
inequity And the
sky grows black while the
cities burn And round and round and round, tables will turn Tables will turn, tables will turn, tables will turn Tables can turn When will we learn? Tables will turn Tables can turn Tables have turned, tables have turned, tables have turned Tables are turned, don't be concerned when Tables have turned Round and round and round, tables will turn
