Everybody’s on the sidelines
Somehow the game’s still going on
It’s way on past that overtime
And my mind is almost gone
Stadium lights, they all burned out
Now we’re just waiting for the dawn

So brother hold on to my hand
Sister, you hold on too
In this hell and this high water
It’s the devil’s rendezvous
Only way we get up outta here
Is just to keep on walking through

Everybody’s on the sidelines
All the whistles have been blown
All the coaches have been mutinied
All the cranks got megaphones
Keep your cool now baby
Soon the true score will be shown
Keep your cool now baby
the game ain’t over, it’s just postponed
Keep your cool now baby
Soon the real score will be shown
Settled and shown
