| Water, water everywhere and not a place to stand
|
| My foundation rests on bedrock
|
| But the bedrock rests on shifting sand
|
| Once the mighty jungle gave way to the streets
|
| Now the city’s a jungle again
|
| Every time the cycle completes
|
| It’s like nothing ever had changed
|
| Tables will turn, tables will turn, tables will turn
|
| Tables can turn
|
| When will I learn that tables will turn
|
| Tables can turn
|
| It was always my hope to repay
|
| All those favors that you would endow
|
| Though I took what I could yesterday
|
| Where are the crumbs when I’m so hungry now?
|
| And the wind cries «Merry Christmas, Happy 4th of July»
|
| When will I see you again?
|
| Sometimes it’s not safe to fly 'til
|
| Tables have turned
|
| This is the law and we didn’t make it
|
| But daily we twist it and bend it and brake it
|
| And to prove just how little we understand it
|
| We act as if it’s just like we planned it
|
| We’re in a state of constant revolution
|
| 'Cause we got a small problem with our distribution
|
| And if the balance of power needs arranging
|
| Then the situation’s got to keep changing
|
| And if you start messin' 'round with the ratio
|
| It’s like tryin' to ride a seesaw solo
|
| 'Cause the further you get from the middle
|
| You throw the balance off little by little
|
| «Class distinctions come naturally»
|
| You think that that can justify the inequity
|
| And the sky grows black while the cities burn
|
| And round and round and round, tables will turn
|
| Tables will turn, tables will turn, tables will turn
|
| Tables can turn
|
| When will we learn? |
| Tables will turn
|
| Tables can turn
|
| Tables have turned, tables have turned, tables have turned
|
| Tables are turned, don’t be concerned when
|
| Tables have turned
|
| Round and round and round, tables will turn |
