Showdown
Roger Hodgson
Letra

Well there's crying in the kitchen and there's fighting in thestreet
And there's cocaine in the schoolyard yet my heart don't miss abeat
And the preacher's on the telly and he's handing me the phone
Got an ulcer in his belly and a torment in his soul
He can't let go - oh he can't let go

Everybody wants a contribution, telling me they've got the bestsolution
No one wants the carousel to slow down, seems to me we're headingfor a showdown

And there's poison in the water and there's holes up in the sky
And the children keep on asking "Is the planet going to die?"
You must let go - oh you must let go

Got to get fired - it's going to get hot
We got to take it higher, give it everything you got
oh - oh, you never know, oh way to go

Everybody's talking revolution, politicians offer no solution
No one seems to want to face the lowdown
Seems to me we're heading for a showdown
