Eventually (Live) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Was a time I remember
Hope flashed and went dim
When assassins just happened
To do the right people in
And love was the slogan
Coincidentally
And they told us they'd work it out
Eventually

[Verse 2]
In the swing of changing times
A man cried out for his
And every, every politician said
He was telling us like it is
Yes, they walked down the angry streets
To have themselves a look-see
And they told us they'd work it out
Eventually

[Verse 3]
I see the choking cities
I see them tearing up the earth
I see people feelin'
That their lives have little worth
And I know that the future
Depends on you and me
I just hope we can work it out
Eventually
I just hope we can work it out
Eventually
[Outro]
Hey, maybe someday
Hey, maybe someday
Hey, hey, hey, maybe someday
Eventually

Thank you. 

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
