Lyrics

See you next time
This time
In a this time
See you next time
This time
In a this time
Changing
Changing
Yes, we are
Where have you been to and i don't know
Said you've got to be good to do what you should
You've got to be wise even to stay alive
Because this is a serious time
(Serious time, serious time, serious time)
Because this, this is a serious time
(Serious time, serious time)
Let me tell you somethin' (serious time)
Tom, Tom, the preacher's son
Stole the Bible and away he ran
Didn't take him very long, for he's tough to understand
The big duck had to bounce him shut
But the stick had to lick him
Because this, this is a serious time
(Serious time)
Watch your step, watch your move today (serious time)
Because this is a serious time
(Serious time, serious time, serious time)
(Serious time, serious time, serious time)
Live your life and live it through
Cause it what it means
For he who hides the wrong he does
Will do the wrong thing then
Children he was
Because this is a serious time
(Serious time, serious time, serious time)
Because this, this is a serious time
(Serious time, serious time)
Let me tell ya (serious time)
Because this is a serious time
(Serious time), uh
(serious time), yh
