It's been a long time comin'
It's goin' to be a long time gone


And it appears to be a long
Appears to be a long
Appears to be a long time

Yes a long long long long time before the dawn

Turn turn any corner

Hear you must hear what the people say
You know there's something is goin' on around here
The surely surely surely won't stand the light of day no


And it appears to be a long yes it does
Appears to be a long mmm

Appears to be a long time
Such a long long time before the dawn


Speak out you got to speak out against the madness
You got to speak your mind if you dare
But don't no don't no try to get yourself elected

If you do you had better cut your hair mmm

And it appears to be a long yes it does

Appears to be a long mmm
Appears to be a long time
Such a long long long long time before the dawn


It's been a long time comin'
It's goin' to be a long time gone


But you know the darkest hour
Is always always just before the dawn


And it appears to be a long
Appears to be a long

Appears to be a long time
Such a long long long long time before the dawn
