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

Turn, turn any corner

Turn and hear? Sooner or later you got to hear what your neighbours and your friends have to say, yeah

There's something, something goin' on around here, yeah

Surely, I said surely, I'm sure it won't stand the light of day, no it won't, no, no, it won't

It appears to be a long, yeah

Appears to be a long, yeah, yeah

Appears to be a long

Time, such a long, long time

Before the dawn

Oh, oh-oh

Speak out, speak out against the madness

Speak your mind, yeah, that is if you still can and you still dare

But don't, I said don't, I said don't try to get yourself elected, yeah

And if you do, for the sake of your child, you better cut your hair, child, yeah

'Cause it appears to be a long, hey-hey

Appears to be a long, yeah

Appears to be a long

Long, time, oh, oh, yeah, yeah

Before the dawn, yeah

It's been a long time comin'

Oh, to be a long, yeah, time gone

But you know

The darkest hour, yeah

Is always, you know it's always, you know, just before the dawn

And it's your dawn, yes, it is

And it appears to be a long, yeah, yeah

Appears to be a long, yeah

Appears to be a long

Appears to be a long, yeah, yeah

Appears to be a long

Appears to be a

Long time, such a long, long, long, long, long time
