Sutherland Brothers & Quiver - World In Action (Take It Away Daddio) lyrics

It's hard to say what's gonna happen today It's a difficult situation Hold on tight, it's gonna work all right The radio tells the nation While a boozy old man in the alley gets cold A baby gets left on the station Oh, work it out fast 'cause we've got to keep The world in action Newsflash story brings a tear to your eye Well, someone must be getting uneasy Bring it all home to the boys up there Who are doing their best to please me Then a foot in the door puts the pressure on you And a letter says: 'Pay it up quickly' 'We need it all now if we're gonna' 'Keep the world in action' Every night it's the same old story When the lights get low A lonely man puts his back to the wall 'Cause there's nowhere else to go, so let it go Then it's back again to that same old story Wandering down the road Waiting for the chance of something If you get it, let it show It's hard to do what they want you to do Everyone moving somewhere Oh, come on, come on, boy, get it all done You're sitting back going nowhere Then a piece of good luck puts a finger on you You're up in the sky, you're a hero You got it all done, now you've Got to keep the world in action
