Roger Hodgson - Showdown lyrics

Well there's crying in the kitchen and there's fighting in the street And there's c**aine in the schoolyard yet my heart don't miss a beat And the preacher's on the telly and he's handing me the phone Got an ulcer in his belly and a torment in his soul He can't let go - oh he can't let go Everybody wants a contribution, telling me they've got the best solution No one wants the carousel to slow down, seems to me we're heading for a showdown And there's poison in the water and there's holes up in the sky And the children keep on asking "Is the planet going to die?" You must let go - oh you must let go Got to get fired - it's going to get hot We got to take it higher, give it everything you got Oh - oh, you never know, oh way to go Everybody's talking revolution, politicians offer no solution No one seems to want to face the lowdown Seems to me we're heading for a showdown'
