Lyrics

HEADED FOR A BAD SPELL
(sung by Jim, Kate, and Sheila)

People needing, people waiting
People needing, people wanting
People needing, people waiting
People needing, people wanting

Things in this world are not going well
We are headed for a bad spell
The further forward we think that we know
The further backward we seem to go

People think that it’s all too late
The world is headed to its ending fate
The things that we do to one another
It’s too late, oh, too late

What you say when the revolution’s come?
Who’s going to get things done?
Are you all going to
Do the things that you once had to?


Well, not me brother
Once I had to live in the gutter
And I ain’t going back there again
Not again

When we’ve all got a Cadillac
And if you should get a flat
Who’s going to come out and take care of that?
Who’s going to bend down and strain their back?

Well, not me brother
Once I had to live in the gutter
And I ain’t going back there again
Not again

People needing, people waiting
People needing, people wanting
People needing, people waiting
People needing, people wanting
