The Record Plays On

Everyone's saying the world's about to end

We've been here before and we'll be here again

Sunshine or rain, let me tell you my friend, that the record plays on

There's always a struggle, some are lost soul to save

But this side of heaven, no, it ain't gonna change

A tale old as time

Tale old as time

Great, great

And the record plays on

On and on

We've been singing it all along

Going round and around

But honey, don't let it bring you down

It's just a different melody to the same damn song

And the record plays on

History repeats

No, we're not the first

Some things will get better

Things will get better

And some will get worse

It's been written before

Ooh

Chapter and verse

And the record plays on

On and on

We've been singing it all along

Going round and around

But, honey, don't let it bring you down

It's just a different melody to the same damn song

And the record plays on

Oh, yeah

Oh, the record plays on

We're in this together

Can't we understand?

Gotta get busy living and love while we can

Love while we can

If it's all how we see it- All in our hands

...

Then it's all in our hands

And the record plays on

Yeah, the record plays on

Ooh

Everyone's saying the world's about to end

We've been here before and we'll be here again
