Action Reaction Blues
Baby don’t cry
Daddy got you close
Mamma’s in the kitchen
making us some pie
Uncle’s on the lookout
keeping watch upon the street
action/reaction baby
no reason for defeat
no reason to cry
baby don’t cry
action/reaction
baby
people needing changing
the world won’t change
time is all that’s changing
not the times
Grandpa went by folks
still
sleeping on the street
in tents beneath Yesler
Bridge
seems there’s reason for defeat
no reason to cry baby
no reason to cry
action/reaction
baby
people needing changing
the world won’t change
time is all that’s changing
not the times
people pushing against people
back and forth brickbats fly
time
is all that's changing
not the times
they ain’t changing
every action has its sequel
action/reaction be equal
baby don’t cry
daddy got you close
mamma’s in the kitchen
making us some pie
uncle’s on the lookout
keeping watch upon the street
action/reaction baby
there’s no reason for defeat
no reason to cry
babies need changing
that’s why babies cry
but time
is all that’s changing
not the times
