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
Are you ready?
