CREEPIN'

Hey, everybody won't you lend me your ear
There's something to fear, it's here, and that's clear.
Men gettin' rich off rapin' the land
I can't understand why we don't take them in hand.

Oh Lord, I don't want to be their fool no more.
I don't want to be their fool no more.
Open eyes, but you're sleepin'
You best wake up 'fore tomorrow comes creepin' in.
'fore tomorrow comes creepin' in.

Feel that our lives are in the hands of fools
Losin' their cool, it's us that they rule.
Too many people sittin' dead on their ass
They ain't got no class, people this time must pass.

Oh Lord, I don't want to be their fool no more.
Hey ... I don't want to be their fool no more.
Open eyes, but you're sleepin'
You best wake up 'fore tomorrow comes creepin' in.
'fore tomorrow comes creepin' in.

Oh ... yeah, tomorrow comes creepin'.

Oh ... hear me cryin' 'cause the people like me
That long to be free are not actually.
Please everybody won't you hear this song
Help a country that's wrong to someday be strong.

Oh Lord, I don't want to be their fool no more.
No! Lord, I don't want to be their fool no more.
Open eyes, but you're sleepin'
You best wake up 'fore tomorrow comes creepin'.
Creepin' ...

Creepin' ...

Tomorrow comes creepin'.

~ Lyrics by Mark Farner

check out "the great global warming swindle"

[alapoet]

@ryanbrownnew the only "great global warming swindle" is the one being perpetrated by greedy oil companies upon unsuspecting shills like yourself.

good job spreading their lies, so they can continue making a (literal) killing at our expense. now run along.

[GrandFunker]

@alapoet Yeah...there's no swindle...just years of hiding temperature drops, rigging data and lying about melting polar ice caps...which they admitted to by the way...nope, just greedy oil companies...you know...like BP, who donated the most money to the Obama campaign, who gave them legal waivers on the very safety issues that caused the rig to explode. But I'm just a troll who denies global warming, what do I know? I'm at least open minded enough to find the truth, even if I don't like it.

[alapoet]

@GrandFunker Good luck finding it, then, because you've done a piss poor job so far.

[Ruraljohn]

ALL POLITIICIANS are Full of SHIT.

[alapoet]

@sirlovemehard and evidently, spelling is not yours... lol

[dcraigwise1]

@alapoet See you wrote this a year ago! So surely you know this is the TRUTH and gets worse by the day! Check out the Right-Wing Pres. hopefuls and my point is made!! A nut (R. Paul), A slut (Ging-grinch), and a Billionaire with his finger up his butt!! (Romney)...

Peace!

[capitancriterio]

Gore, Illuminati

Global warming, The sun

Me talking in weird manner

Can´t help fact this point

[CAUSEIF]

gore is a member of the club of Rome, Google it and look what there plans are dorks , grow a nut or 2

[istimewa1x]

Another superunderrated Farner -composition!

[turtleondope]

I had this on a 45. It was on the B-side

[octoloverful]

EVERYTHING HAPPENS DUE TO SUPPLY IN DEMAND,

[scouse2606]

Brilliant tune, talks about the current economic climate perfectly also! And really sounds like an 80's rock/funk song, which is amazing in itself! Back to the future!!

[ridemythunder]

I hope more than two people agree with me....WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!There is revolution in the air.It is time for the working man to get what is due to him.Vote our incumbents OUT and let's get a fresh start..."too many people sittin' dead on their ass...ain't got no class...baby this time must last"

[RojotheRed]

@ridemythunder Spot-0n! You nailed it, and this song can get you stoked. Amen for our planet and working people. The working class has always carried this country. It's a measure for success. When honest Joe the Worker pays HIS taxes, the whole country jumps onboard. (meaning the people that rely on loopholes) If the Gov raises my tax to 200.00 more, I don't mind if it maintains our "safety net". It's the people that know how to keep their money, that burn me up.How can a Senator vote for loops?

@ridemythunder

Hi rider... !! Your comment has bettered my day. Exactly the same has happened with me and I'm happy to see we share the same thoughts about this song. The same is true for other songs of this beloved group and I feel sure you agree as well ! Farewell.! Antonis
