Bend A Little in Album High Cumberland Jubilee Lyrics

    Evil, it's been here all along
    Good things, they just seem to have come and gone
    In my life i have seen so much go wrong
    And there's only one way left for us to get along

    Chorus:
    You got to bend a little one way or the other
    You got to leave your mind open to discover
    Seems i've been fightin' it all along
    You got to bend a little no matter which side you're on
    Or soon you'll be gone

    Papers, they print it every day
    Housewife, wraps the garbage then throws it away
    I don't guess she thinks they have that much to say
    But when the time is right she'll be the lady with so much to pay

    Chorus:
    You got to bend a little one way or the other
    You got to leave your mind open to discover
    Seems i've been fightin' it all along
    You got to bend a little no matter which side you're on
    Or soon you'll be gone

    History, it teaches much too well
    Nations, had to rise up before they fell
    And my eyes see the story they're tryin' to tell
    And tonight i think i heard the final toll of the bell

    Chorus:
    We better bend a little one way or the other
    You got to leave your mind open to discover
    Seems i've been fightin' it all along
    You've got to bend a little no matter which side you're on
    Or soon you'll be gone

    Seems i've been fightin' it all along
    I've been a fightin' and a fightin'
    Got to bend a little no matter which side you're on
    It's a long and and dirty battle
    It seems i've been fightin' it all along
    I've been a tearin' and a pullin'
    Got a bend a little no matter which side you're on
    Yes i know cause
    It seems i've been fightin' it all along
    I've been a punchin' and a gougin'
    And it seems it don't matter which side you're on
    I've been a tearin' and a rippin' and
    It seems i've been fightin' it all along
