High time we made a stand And shook up the views of the common man And the love train rides from coast to coast DJ’s the man we love the most Could you be, could you be squeaky clean And smash any hope of democracy? As the headline says you’re free to choose There’s egg on your face and mud on your shoes One of these days they’re gonna call it the blues, yeah, yeah Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love (Anything is possible when you’re sowing the seeds of love) ---

3:30 in the mornin’, not a soul in sight The city’s lookin’ like a ghost town on a moonless summer night Raindrops on the windshield, there’s a storm movin’ in He’s headin’ back from somewhere that he never should have been And the thunder rolls And the thunder rolls ---
