Lyrics
Time Is Gonna Come
Don Sechelski/Adam Sechelski
Verse
You can blame it on your mother,
Your lawyer or your priest.
You can blame it on your third grade teacher
She was recently deceased.
You can blame it on the mailman
Or on society
You can blame it on the president
Or on your own TV
Refrain
But the time is gonna come
Oh the time is gonna come
When you have to stand alone
You cannot blame it on anyone.
Verse
You can hide inside your closet
You can hide under the bed
You can hide behind your bible
And the words that Jesus said.
You can hide out on the highway
When you take it on the run
You can feel just a little bit bigger
When you hide behind your gun.
Refrain
But the time is gonna come
Oh the time is gonna come
When you have to stand there naked
You can't hide from anyone.
Bridge
Everything that goes around
Goes around
Well you know it's gonna come around too
Everything that goes around
Goes around
Well you know it's gonna come to you.
Verse
You can wrap yourself in glory
The old red, white, and blue
You can wrap yourself in misery
If that's what really suits you
You can wrap yourself in silver
You can wrap yourself in gold
You can take it all down to the marketplace
Where your dreams are bought and sold
Refrain
But the time is gonna come
Oh the time is gonna come
When the things you have mean nothing
They will belong to everyone.
Verse
You can have your power lunches
And your three martini meals
You can have your cake and eat it too
You know just how that feels
You can have yourself a party
You can have it your own way
You can have the head of the prophet
Brought to you on a silver tray
Refrain
But the time is gonna come
Oh the time is gonna come
When the things you have mean nothing
They will belong to everyone.
Outro
Everything that goes around
Goes around
Well you know it's gonna come around too
Everything that goes around
Goes around
Well you know it's gonna come to you.
