Intro. (Electric Guitars)
It's been a long time comin'
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
Such a long, long time before the dawn, yeah
Turn, turn any corner
Turn and hear (Turn and hear) what your friends and your neighbors might have to say, yeah
Something, something, something's goin' on around here
Surely, surely, surely will not stand the light of day
And it appears to be a long
Appears to be a long, yeah
Appears to be a long time
Such a long, long time before the dawn, yeah, yeah, yeah
Instrumental (Electric Guitar)
Speak out, speak out against the madness, yes, yeah, yeah
All I'm sayin' is speak your mind that is if you still can and you still have the guts to
Don't, no don't, no, try to get yourself elected, no, no
And if you do forsake this child you'd better cut your hair
It appears to be a long, yes it does now
Appears to be a long, yeah, yeah
Appears to be a long such a long, a long (A long, a long)
Such a long, long time before the dawn
It's been a long time comin'
It'll be a long time gone (Gone, gone, gone, gone)
But you know
The darkest hour, yeah
It is always, just before your dawn, yes it is
And it appears to be a long, oh, oh
Appears to be a long, oh, oh, oh
Appears to be a long time
Such a long, long time
And it appears to be a long, yeah
Ending (Electric Guitars and Organ)
