One More Time

Look, over yonder see fitful skies
Blues gonna rain til they blind your eyes
Gotta shield my soul in an acre of mud
Til my soul’s a shield and I’ve understood

That it’s
one more time
the people gotta pay
one more time
gotta suffer and say
There ain’t no Right and their ain’t no Law
until the people won’t take no more

Blisters bubble up on my hands
I can carry a load but I wear the brand
There’s a mighty low ceiling where I crack my head
When I try to stand up tall instead

And it’s
one more time
the people gotta pay
one more time
gotta suffer and say
There ain’t no Right and there ain't no Law
until the people won’t take no more

Now eternity damn sure welcome me
But here and now we still ain't free
Cause the plain’s still flooded with a howling lie
And the devil is wearing a suit and tie

And it’s
one more time
the people gotta pay
one more time
gotta suffer and say
There ain’t not Right and their ain’t no Law
until the people won’t take no more
