Lletres: john butler trio. Somethings Gotta Give.

A little feeling in my gut that I get of late
When I think about these cats running the world
With hate, I say, "Somethings got to give

Got the whole world fighting for that Texas tea
Got a letter for you, I got a letter for me
But the, the kettle's leakin' like a sieve

Now there's a puddle on the floor, there's a puddle in the sky
The kettles leakin' so much now man it's burnin' my eyes, yeah
Can't we just throw that the damn part out?

And on the subject of a throwin' stuff away
I know some deaf men who can't hear a word we've say
No matter, no matter how loud we do shout

And I said, "Somethings gotta give right now
Somethings gotta give right now
Somethings gotta give right now
Somethings gotta give right now"

I was reading a newspaper just yesterday
Got the headlines readin' God bless the U.S.A.
And I thought, God bless everyone

God bless the people in New York when they were attacked
God bless the children bein' bombed, yeah in Iraq
God bless the god damn junky with the monkey on his back
God bless everybody under the sun

'Cause the world ahead will end if we don't have love
And you can drive and pray all day to the God above
But eventually the only guarantee will be that
The tea in your tank will run dry

'Cause the way that I love you know their ain't no life
And you can duplicate and bottle it up all you like
But it doesn't mean we're gonna get another try
Get another try for

Somethings gotta give right now
Somethings gotta give right now
Somethings gotta give right now
Somethings gotta give right now

Somethings gotta give right now
Somethings gotta give right now
Somethings gotta give right now
Somethings gotta give right now
