Get Ready Ready for hard times Get Ready For the heavy load Get Ready Ready for the who knows who knows who knows what Get Ready Get Ready Ready the fire Get Ready Ready for the flood Get ready Don't let the high road Drag you down low Cause this old world keeps on turning around and round This old world it keeps on turning around There won't be no returning from where you're bound This old world it keeps turning around So get ready Get ready Ready for the lowdown Get ready To step it up and go Get ready Get to pay the devil back Back what you owe Cause this old world keeps on turning around and round This old world it keeps on turning around There won't be no returning from where you're bound But this old world it keeps turning around What now Your luck is run out Run ragged and weak Well, somehow It's all crashing down Life goes past like a bullwhip lash in the breeze And no one knows what's coming so you better hold steady
