This ol' world’s a-gettin' heavy, these old times are gettin' hard
You might see a-somethin' happen if you look out in your yard
You might see the old world vanish, you might see the sun go down
You must give yourself a lesson, stop and turn yourself around
It’s gotta be soon. So let it cool awhile
Slow down, easy style
And you’ll be doin' alright, 'cause you love
This ol' world it needs a-paintin', these old walls are gettin' thin
There’s a lot that needs a-fixin', you can help us all begin
We’ll remove the rust and tarnish from the hearts of everyone
Hand in hand we’ll stand together, take a look at what we’ve done
It’s gotta be soon. So let it cool awhile
Slow down, easy style
And you’ll be doin' alright, 'cause you love
The ol' world’s a-gettin' heavy, these old times are gettin' hard

You might see the old world vanish, you might see the sun go down
You must give yourself a lesson, stop and turn yourself around
It’s gotta be soon. So let it cool awhile
