Please don't dominate the rap Jack if you've got nothing new to say. If you please don't back up the tracks, this train's gotta run today. I spent a little time on the mountain Spent a little time on the hill I heard some say better run away Other say better stand still No I don't know But I've been told It's hard to run with a weight of gold On the other hand I've heard it said It's just as hard with a weight of lead Who can deny? Who can deny? It's not just a change in style One step done and another begun And I wonder how many miles I spent a little time on the mountain Spent a little time on the hill Things went down we don't understand But I guess in time we will Now I don't know but I was told In the heat of the sun a man died of cold Keep on coming or stand or wait With the sun so dark and the hour so late... You can't overlook the lack Jack Of another highway to ride It's got no signs or dividing lines And very few rules to guide I spent a little time on the mountain Spent a little time on the hill I saw things getting out of hand I guess they always will Now I don't know but I've been told If the horse don't pull you gotta carry the load I don't know who's back's that strong Maybe find out before too long One way or another One way or another One way or another This darkness got to give

Had our chance to see Be all that we could be We played with rock and roll But playings never free Dancing with the devil On a cold mountain side I think we've fucked it up again And give us a chance we gonna do it again And it's always the same Just a stupid game Always chasing that taste Cos youth is ours to waste And I can hear the sound Of people getting down Always wanting that taste Coz youth is theirs to waste But something ain't right Something's gonna give Had our time in the sun now Now there's nowhere to run. Had our chance to be free Be all we could be We played with rock and rock And playings never free Never free Never free Never free Now I think I can see It's 1970 Now I think I can see It's 1970 The future's on it's way It's 1970 Now I think I can see It's 1970 The future's on it's way It's 1970 It's 1970 It's 1970 The future's on it's way
