Lyrics Jimmy Barnes

Jimmy Barnes

Sweat It Out

Heat goes up and rain won't fall

We've run so far it's time to crawl

And we all forget each lesson learned

We played with fire and now we'll all get burned

Gonna have to sweat it out

Can't ignore it or pass the blame

While lovers walk in acid rain

Feed the world was just a song

They want to bleed the world and build a bomb

Gonna have to sweat it out

But how long will it take

Til the message gets through to you

A change is due, starting here with me and you

Gonna have to sweat it out

Gonna have to work it out

And politicians, thieves and banks

Together help us all walk the plank

They offered us the very best

Until our souls are repossessed

If we're so sharp, how come we're falling apart

We've been the fools

We've kept on bending the rules

Our rise and fall has taken no time at all

For what it's worth the meek inherit the earth

What's left behind just makes them angry and blind

Too late to try, just kiss the whole world goodbye
