Born on the bayou, down in the dumps The dark side of nowhere, taking your lumps And no education much to speak of And nothing to live for when push comes to shove You dial the wrong number and they put you on hold But somebody loves you or so we've been told? There's lead in the water, knees on your neck The son of your father, born to neglect You mind your own business, siren gon' wail Make one false move brother, ya wind up dead or in jail It's been 400 years now, right down to the day But somebody love you, least that's what they say ♪ Yeah ♪ Buildings may crumble, mountains may fall Civilization, the cause of it all Wars and tornadoes, famine and blight Temperatures rising with no end in sight There's no need to worry, you've got nothing to fear 'Cause somebody loves you, soon he's gonna be here Somebody loves you, I'm gonna say it again No matter how hopeless the trouble you're in They made you a promise, for whatever it's worth You too shall inherit what's left of the earth It was long ago written down in so many words Somebody loves you or haven't you heard? ♪ Whoa ♪ Somebody loves you
