[Verse 1]
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 gotta bend a little, one way or the other
Gotta leave your mind open to discover
Seems I've been fightin' it all along
You gotta bend a little no matter which side you're on
'Cause soon you'll be gone

[Verse 2]
Papers, they print it everyday
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 gotta bend a little, one way or the other
Gotta leave your mind open to discover
Seems I've been fightin' it all along
You gotta bend a little no matter which side you're on
'Cause soon you'll be gone
