Something's Gotta Give Lyrics
There's a feeling in my gut that I get of late
When I think about these cats running the world with hate
I say, Something's got to give
Got the whole world fighting for that Texas Tea
Got a letter for you, I got a letter for me, But the, the kettle's leaking like a sieve
Cause there's a puddle on the floor, there's a puddle in the sky
The kettles leaking so much now man it's burning my eyes yeah,
Can't we just throw that the damn part out?
And on the subject of throwin stuff away,
I know some deaf men that can't hear a word we say,
No matter, no matter how loud we do shout
Somethings gotta give right now
Somethings gotta give right now
Somethings gotta give right now
Somethings gotta give right now
I was reading a newspaper just yesterday
got the headlines reading god bless the USA, and I thought, God bless everyone
God bless the people in New York when they got attacked,
God bless the children being bombed yeah in Iraq,
God bless the god damn junky with the monkey on his back,
God bless everybody under the sun
Cause the world ahead will end If we don't have love
And you can drive and pray all day to the God above
But eventually the only guarantee will be that the tea in your tank will run dry
Cause the way that I love you know their ain't no life,
And you can duplicate and bottle it up all you like but it,
Doesn't mean we're gonna get another try
Get another try for
Somethings gotta give right now
Somethings gotta give right now
Somethings gotta give right now
Somethings gotta give right now
Somethings gotta give right now
Somethings gotta give right now
Somethings gotta give right now
Somethings gotta give right now
When I think about these cats running the world with hate
I say, Something's got to give
Got the whole world fighting for that Texas Tea
Got a letter for you, I got a letter for me, But the, the kettle's leaking like a sieve
The kettles leaking so much now man it's burning my eyes yeah,
Can't we just throw that the damn part out?
I know some deaf men that can't hear a word we say,
No matter, no matter how loud we do shout
Somethings gotta give right now
Somethings gotta give right now
Somethings gotta give right now
got the headlines reading god bless the USA, and I thought, God bless everyone
God bless the people in New York when they got attacked,
God bless the children being bombed yeah in Iraq,
God bless the god damn junky with the monkey on his back,
God bless everybody under the sun
And you can drive and pray all day to the God above
But eventually the only guarantee will be that the tea in your tank will run dry
And you can duplicate and bottle it up all you like but it,
Doesn't mean we're gonna get another try
Get another try for
Somethings gotta give right now
Somethings gotta give right now
Somethings gotta give right now
Somethings gotta give right now
Somethings gotta give right now

Another fantastic song by the trio! (cant help but love the lyrics)
I love jbt... i also love songs about politics lol
go aussie!
best video clip ever! Very political song with the title refering the farce our world has become and John wanting something done about it. The song isn't that vague which helps with interpretation
gotta love this song... I especially love the part of the song where it says: 'I was reading a newspaper just yesterday got the headlines reading god bless the USA, and I thought, God bless everyone God bless the people in New York when they got attacked, God bless the children being bombed yeah in Iraq, God bless the god damn junky with the monkey on his back, God bless everybody under the sun'
Aussi, Aussi, Aussi! Oi Oi Oi!
I always thought it was "...when I trhink about this cancer running the world with hate". Any idea?
I'm not so sure this song is super political, but more about love for everyone. Our society is so ethnocentric. What makes America so special? Money? Power? Do people not feel pain in Iraq? So I think God could take a day off from blessing America and bless Iraq once and awhile. And as for these ignorant bumper stickers everywhere, God Bless America? How about God Bless Everyone. Thank you jbt.
"This song is dedicated to all the people in the world, who want peace on this planet, dont want a war in iraq or a war anywhere."
