Hey, kid, don't you lean on me
I wanna talk to you, about Solidarity
Hey, Ma, I keep falling on my knees
And I need you now in Solidarity
Here we go, into this time zone
Into the unknown, and I don't know you
You don't know me
It's such a grand slide
The big roller coaster ride
Still you can't understand
I'm on your side
Hey, kid, don't you lean on me
I wanna talk to you about Solidarity
Hey, Ma, I keep falling on my knees
And I need you now in Solidarity
Big guns, talking from Washington
To people in Taiwan, Downing Street, London
NATO and Western Alliance
News on the hour
And everyone's screaming
"We want power!"
Hey kid, don't you lean on me
I wanna talk to you, about Solidarity
Hey, Ma, I keep falling on my knees
And I need you now in Solidarity
T.V. like a face in the mirror
I ain't a quitter, don't you call me a sinner
Sometimes, it all seems so futile
But there's so much that's worthwhile
And I just want to go on living
