on the telephone, pick it up and say What's a man to do with all the trouble today? Heard it takes a worried man to a worried song Sing it now, but Lord, don't let it all go on too Somethin' in the air, and it's movin' like a train Sun is goin' down, and it seems like I'll be the keeps spinnin' 'round, people say there's debt to pay I don't knowtoo busy with my life day to day But whosoever journeys up against border line The shadows of an ancient burn away in time I was down in Arkansas, workin' graveyard Movin' crates for exportation a big forklift Most were crackers, Coca-Cola, and ceiling fans Two were marked Top Secret, headed for Chorus See shadows on the sun, see a comin' Nothin' will persuade, but all be allowed And some will seek their god from a in the sky Defendin' their affliction with a holy Ringin' on the telephone, it up and say What's a man to do with all the trouble today? I'm callin' up the president, ask him he say No answer, a message, when he's back from holiday Chorus Now the drums are poundin', hear them blowin' on the Two hands are on the hammer, and the has been torn Dam's about to burst, floods are all No more water, little Sylvie, 'cause I I'm gonna drown Ringin' on the telephone, it up and say What's a man to do all the trouble 'round today? Heard it takes a worried man to sing a song Sing it now, but Lord, don't make it all go on too All go on too
