Silvertones - Cheating & Lying (aka Be Thankful)
Some-times it's like it's falling down, whoah-oh yeah
You see, it keeps turning, and turning, and turning
And turning, and turning
And no-one knows just where it stops, wooah-no-a
But if this world should come tumbling over
That everything would be upside down, whoah-oh yeah
'Cause there wouldn't be no man, no woman
No money, no nature, no rain or shine
Oh, what a dreadful sight, that would be
So you should be thankful for the life that your living
An for the bread that your given, every day and night
Instead of worshipping your riches, killing off your brothers
You're hating all your sister, no that isn't right, oh no
For if you hate and deceive, scornful and backbite
Your cheated and a lied, no, you're never rewarded, oh no
So if this whole world as they said, should come tumbling over
There must be a way out of a here, whoah-oh yeah
You gotta stand up strong, forget the things that is wrong
And then some day a change is gonna come, whoah yes, it is
You got to love one another, care for each other
Bear one another's burdens, from a now on, whoah-oh yeah
Instead of killing off your brothers, hitting all our sisters
Hating all our leaders, bo, that isn't right, whoah-oh no
For if you hate and deceive, cheated and a lied
Scornful and backbite, no, you're never rewarded, never rewarded
(..)
For if you hate and deceive, cheated and a lied
Scornful and backbite, no, you're never rewarded, no day to come
