All Goin’ Down Together The Hues Corporation

Blackbird sitting on a telephone pole
Looking for a place to fly
There's a young man sitting in a puddle of mud
Preparing himself to die
The wheels are turning and the fires are burning
And the smoke’s getting in our eyes

Looks like we're all going down together
Get on down

Got to do, got to do what your mama say
Some talking bad, some talking good
Some talking if they should
Most haven't got the time to pay any mind
They wouldn’t even if they could, good god

All going down together
I said, we're all going down together

Won't be any glory when they talk about the story
How it happened once upon a time
Back in the days of the nuclear age
Will be the start of a nursery rhyme
Talk about the kings with the ruby rings
And how it happened long time ago
Why don't you look at the skies and philosophize?
Well, we won't be here to know
