Hey now the well runs dry
Pages of the book on fire
Read the writing
On the wall
Hoedown, it's a showdown
Everywhere you look
They're fighting
Hear the call
And you know it's getting stronger,
It can't last very much longer
Turn to stone
Well there's a change in the wind
You know the signs don't lie
Such a strange feeling and I don't know why
It's takin' such a long time
Backyard people and they work all day
Tired of the speeches
And the way that the reasons keep changin'
To make the words rhyme
And you know it's getting stronger,
Can't last very much longer
Turn to stone
