Good times and bad
Seen them both
Hope fly out the window

Fortune walk through the door
Learned not to believe
This is as good as it gets

Because we ain't seen nothing yet



Hands untied
But the same shuffle once again
Running all the time

Ain't going nowhere
It's a new page in the same book
It's a new game with the same rules

The lights go down
Fade to black on the set
And we ain't seen nothing yet



Saddled with bonds

Broken and in disrepair
Forty acres to a forty-ounce
Don't seem fair

The sirens rise and wail
Shadowed by Liberty's torch
As the boats that brought us over

Are slowly sinking off the shore
And we ain't seen nothing yet



This life a crime
A blessing and a curse

Chosen and unwanted
Displaced and usurped
I'd run away

But there is nowhere to go
So I'll stand and fight
And hope and pray

That the best is yet to come
And we ain't seen nothing yet
