Tables Will Turn |
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 |
