Bend a Little Lyrics

By: jimmy buffett, buzz cason 1971 Evil, it's been here all along Good things, they just seem to have come and gone In my life I have seen so much go wrong And there's only one way left for us to get along
Chorus: You got to bend a little one way or the other You got to leave your mind open to discover Seems I've been fightin' it all along You got to bend a little no matter which side you're on Or soon you'll be gone
Papers, they print it every day Housewife, wraps the garbage then throws it away I don't guess she thinks they have that much to say But when the time is right she'll be the lady with so much to pay
Chorus: You got to bend a little one way or the other You got to leave your mind open to discover Seems I've been fightin' it all along You got to bend a little no matter which side you're on Or soon you'll be gone [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/bend-a-little-lyrics-jimmy-buffett.html ]
History, it teaches much too well Nations, had to rise up before they fell And my eyes see the story they're tryin' to tell And tonight I think I heard the final toll of the bell
Chorus: We better bend a little one way or the other You got to leave your mind open to discover Seems I've been fightin' it all along You've got to bend a little no matter which side you're on Or soon you'll be gone
Seems I've been fightin' it all along I've been a fightin' and a fightin' Got to bend a little no matter which side you're on It's a long and and dirty battle It seems I've been fightin' it all along I've been a tearin' and a pullin' Got a bend a little no matter which side you're on Yes I know cause It seems I've been fightin' it all along I've been a punchin' and a gougin' And it seems it don't matter which side you're on I've been a tearin' and a rippin' and It seems I've been fightin' it all along
