Lyrics

It's been a long

Time comin'

It's 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

Yes, a long, long, long, long time

Before the dawn

Turn, turn any corner

Hear, you must hear what the people say

You know there's somethin' that's goin' on around here

That surely I, surely, surely won't stand the light of day, no

And it appears to be a long (Yes, it does)

Appears to be a long (Mmm)

Appears to be a long

Time

Such a long, long time

Before the dawn

Speak out, you got to speak out against the madness

You got to speak your mind, if you dare

But don't, no, don't, no, try to get yourself elected

If you do, you had better cut your hair, mmm

And it appears to be a long (Yes, it does)

Appears to be a long (Mmm)

Appears to be a long

Time

Such a long, long, long, long time

Before the dawn, yeah

It's been a long (Long)

Time (Time)

Comin' (Comin')

It's goin' to be long (A long)

Time (Time)

Gone (Gone)

But you know

The darkest hour

Is always

Always just before the dawn

And it appears to be a long

Appears to be a long

Appears to be a long

Time

Such a long, long, long, long time

Before the dawn
