Lyrics Three Dog Night

Three Dog Night

The Writings On the Wall

Lookin' out my window, it was a smoggy afternoon

I breathen in some air, I couldn't get in too soon

I turned on the news, learned of some food I shouldn't eat

Don't you run around today, you might pass out in the heat

Writing's on the wall, facts are in the books

Nothin' lost is nothin' gained

It seems there's writings on the wall, yeah

I just can't understand how this world is run

Well, people say that war is bad, but they keep on makin' guns

Ever since the world began it's always been the same

'Cause hist'ry'll always tell the truth war is such a shame

So the writing's on the wall you can't outrace your fate

What will be will always be, so the writing's on the wall

Facts are in the books, nothin' lost is nothin' gained

Writing's on the wall

Writing's on the wall, facts are in the books

Nothin' lost is nothin' gained

So there's writings on the wall

Writing's on the wall, facts I learned too late

What will be will always be, writings on the wall

You can't outrace your fate, so what will be will always be

There's writings on the wall, the lesson's learned too late

Nothin' lost is nothin' gained cause the writing's on the wall

Facts I learned too late, so what will be will always be

Writing's on the wall, you can't outrace your fate

So what will be will always be, cause the writing's on the wall
