Way down here on these dead end streets People live in doubt and fear And it kept them down for oh so long Now their time is getting near Well, I don't know where I don't know how I don't know when But I'll tell you right now One of these days, you'll cross that line The people gonna take you by surprise They're gonna look their leaders in the eye One of these days, you'll cross that line The people gonna think with their own minds They're gonna leave the system for behind How many of us spend our lives On the outside lookin' in Well, it seems they got us all convinced That we're never gonna, never gonna win I don't know where I don't know how I don't know when But I'll tell you right now One of these days, you'll cross that line The people gonna take you by surprise They're gonna look their leaders in the eye One of these days, you'll cross that line The people gonna think with their own minds They're gonna leave the system for behind Do you really think we'll ever stop Lookin' for as brighter day While it looks today like you're on top It could never stay that way One of these days One of these days One of these days...
