Cannonball Rag(1952 Version) - Merle Travis

Yeah
This clock is counting down
To a final resignation
Another crowning curtain call
A global melt down (melt down)
Leaves a trail of devastation
It carves the writing on the wall
Oh you know
We've never seen this kind of world
It's a warning to us all
No, we've never seen this kind of world
And I hope that we can stop this cannonball
Stop this cannonball
Yeah
We play the lead role
With a lack of education
And pay a price we'll never know
Our future's been sold (been sold)
By a profit margin generation
We're all invited to the show
Oh you know
We've never seen this kind of world
It's a warning to us all
No, we've never seen this kind of world
It's a warning to us all
Oh, we've never seen this kind of world
And I hope that we can stop this cannonball
Stop this cannonball
Cause when it all comes crashing down (all comes crashing down)
Down from above (from above)
There will be no salvation (no salvation)
Is there anything that can save us (save us)
From ourselves
We've never seen this kind of world
It's a warning to us all
No, we've never seen this kind of world
It's a warning to us all
Oh, we've never seen this - we've never seen this - kind of world
Oh, we've never seen this - we've never seen this
And I hope that we can stop this cannonball
Stop this cannonball
