The Hues Corporation — All Goin Down Together

Blackbird sitting on a telephone pole Looking for a place to fly There's a young man sitting in a puddle of mud Preparing himself to die The wheels are turning and the fires are burning And the smoke’s getting in our eyes Looks like we're all going down together Get on down Got to do, got to do what your mama say Some talking bad, some talking good Some talking if they should Most haven't got the time to pay any mind They wouldn’t even if they could, good god All going down together I said, we're all going down together Won't be any glory when they talk about the story How it happened once upon a time Back in the days of the nuclear age Will be the start of a nursery rhyme Talk about the kings with the ruby rings And how it happened long time ago Why don't you look at the skies and philosophize? Well, we won't be here to know And we're all going down together I said, we're all going down together Looks like we're all going down together Looks like we’re all going down together You know, I I don’t even think we oughta be together Before we all go down together (All going down) (We're all going down) Blackbird sitting on a telephone pole (All going down) Looking for a place to fly (All going down) There’s a young man sitting in a puddle of mud (All going down) Preparing himself to die (All going down) Whoa-oh, we're all going down (All going down) (All going down) Together, whoo, we're going (All going down) Ah, we're going down, yeah, yeah, yeah (All going down) Ah, we’re going down, down, yeah (All going down) Ah-ha, we're going down together (All going down)
