Night Come Down

I know there's somethin' in the wind that's cryin'
There's only trouble in the land of plenty
If you don't do something, and now
Or take your final vow
Girl, you won't be ready when the night come down

Better look out, now
The night is comin' down

If you just give a little bit, stop takin'
When someone's starvin' at the gate, don't pig in
Did you lose something that you had?
What made you turn your back?
Yeah, you won't be ready when the night come down

Better look out, now
The night is comin' down

Don't keep your love locked in your soul
Don't be so damn cold
Let me be my own man
Don't make me a fool
My precious freedom, I want it
So give it to me, don't make me take it

You won't be ready when the night come down

Better look out, now
The night is comin' down

I know there's somethin' in the wind that's cryin'
There's only trouble in the land of plenty
If you don't do something, and now
Or take your final vow
Yeah, you won't be ready when the night come down

You better look out, now
The night is comin' down

Don't keep your love locked in your soul
Don't be so damn cold
Let me be my own man
Don't make me a fool
My precious freedom, I want it
So give it to me, don't make me take it

You won't be ready when the night come down
You better look out, now
The night is comin' down

There's people cryin' in a state of sorrow
And under shootin' through the right of power
There's no more time to hesitate
The hour's getting late
And you won't be ready when the night come down

You better look out, now
The night is comin' down
