Lyrics

Somebody somewhere
Has all the answers to the questions
In our minds
Somebody somewhere
Has grown impatient
With your reasons
And your crimes
And no more lies shall be told
No more lies shall be sold
Who has the key?
Who will it be
You or me? Alright
One more time
Going wide
The weed
Somebody somewhere
Must lead us homeward to the truth
In our hearts
Somebody somewhere
Will hear our cries for freedom
If we never, never stop
And no more lies shall be told
No more lies shall be sold
Who has the key?
Who will it be
You or me? Alright
One more time
Going wide
The writing on the wall
Says that he ain’t right at all, he’s not
Oh, yeah
Ain’t easy to be tall
If he wasn’t so short and small, he'll be
Oh, yeah
And no more lies shall be told
No more lies shall be sold
Who has the key?
Who will it be
You or me? Alright
One more time
Going wide
The weed
Be prepared
He’s coming back that way
Be prepared
He’s coming back that way
Be prepared
He’s coming back that way
Be prepared
He’s coming back that way
Be prepared
Be prepared
He’s coming back that way
Oh-oh, ah-huh
Be prepared
He’s coming back that way
