Lyrics

ONE LOUD POP

Verse 1
Little Jimmy?s failin? sixth grade Momma?s all in a tizzy
His teacher?s tryin? to tell her after work she?s got to help him more at home Momma says what I gotta do is work a second job to buy us some happy Teacher don?t know I?m helpin? him between sets from the gym on the phone

Chorus
Momma got to hear one loud pop
When she pulls her head from its hiding place
With one loud pop all the lights will come back on

Verse 2
Big Tommy says he oughta be paid more money down at the factory
He says he?d work much harder if he was brinin? more Benjamin?s home
All the shakers workin? ?round the clock tell Tom he?s got the cart in front of the horses
Gonna lure Big Tommy in Harder becomes hours leavin? kids alone

Chorus
They got to hear one loud pop
When they pull that head from their hidin? places
One loud pop and all the lights will come back on

Verse 3
Movin? at the speed of life we get so caught up in what we?re doin?
We can?t see the fabric is torn and what we?ve built up we ought to tear down
Now as a people we need to decide then pause a moment for silence
Maybe at the crack of dawn if we pull together we can hear that sound

Chorus
We got to hear one loud pop
When we pull that head from its hidin? place
One loud pop and all the lights will come back on
