"Something's Gotta Give" lyrics - LUCINDA WILLIAMS

There's a heaviness to these days
A burden on a shoulder
I think we've lost our way
The air is gettin' colder
There's division in these days
Bonds bein' broken
Such a heavy price to pay
Words left unspoken
There's a heaviness to these days

[Chorus:]
Too much rain
The levee's gon' break
Too much strain
The ground's gon' shake
Too much pain
The spirit's gon' break
Something's gotta give
Yeah, something's gotta give

There's an anger to these days
A simmering rage
That never goes away
No one turns the page
There's a darkness to these days
Things happen out of sight
As the light fades away
Something just ain't right
There's an anger in these days

[Chorus:]
Too much rain
The levee's gon' break
Too much strain
The ground's gon' shake
Too much pain
The spirit's gon' break
Something's gotta give
Something's gotta give
Yeah, something's gotta give
Something's gotta give

[Guitar solo]

There's a danger to these days
You can feel it in the air
Evil has come to play
You can feel it everywhere
There's a fear in these days
Shadows in the eyes
When you know what they say
It's the place of truth and lies
There's a danger to these days

[Chorus:]
Too much rain
The levee's gon' break
Too much strain
The ground's gon' shake
Too much pain
The spirit's gon' break
Something's gotta give
Something's gotta give
Yeah, something's gotta give
Something's gotta give

[Guitar solo]

[Outro:]
Something's gotta give
Yeah, something's gotta give
