Bend a Little (In Album High Cumberland Jubilee) L

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

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
