 One more thing!

 Let's get together to fight this Holy Armagiddyon (One Love!),
 So when the Man comes there will be no, no doom (One Song!).
 Have pity on those whose chances grows thinner
 There ain't no hiding place from the Father of Creation.

 Saying: One Love! What about the One Heart? (One Heart!)
 What about the - ? Let's get together and feel all right.
 I'm pleading to mankind! (One Love!)
 Oh, Lord! (One Heart)  Wo-ooh!

 Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
 Let's get together and feel all right.
 Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
 Let's get together and feel all right.


17. Why Should I

 Why should I bend down my head and cry?
 Why should I bend down my head and cry?
 The old world has ended,
 The new world has just begun.
 And all them people that live therein
 Shall live on and on.
 One more thing:
 Got to get what I need,
 Got to get what I want.
 Got to get what I need,
 Got to get what I want.
 Got to get satisfaction,
 Got to get the action.
 Got love and affection.
 One more thing

 Once there was two roads before us
 To pick our choice.
 But good has overcome bad.
 The sheep has heard their master's voice.
 So tell me why.

 Why should I bend down my head and cry?
 No reason why.
 Why should I bend down my head and cry?
 (Got to move) Got to groove.

 Got to get what I want.
 What did you say?
 Got to get it.
 Got to get what I need.
 Got to get it, today now.
 Got to get what I want.
 Like I say, got to get it.
 Got to get what I need...satisfaction.
 
 The old world has ended,
 The new world has just begun.
 And all them people that live therein
 Shall live on and on.
 One more thing

 Why should I bend down my head and cry?
 My father is a king.
 Why should I bend down my head and cry?
 All the riches in the earth.
 So tell me why,
 Why should I bend down my head and cry?


18. Redemption Song

 Yeah!
 Old pirates, yes, they rob I
 Sold I to the merchant ships,
 Minutes after they took I
 From the bottomless pit.
 But my hand was made strong
 By the hand of the Almighty.
 We forward in this generation
 Triumphantly.
 Won't you help to sing
 These songs of freedom?
 'Cause all I ever have
 Redemption songs
 Redemption songs.

 Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
 None but ourselves can free our minds.
 Have no fear for atomic energy,
 'Cause none of them can stop the time.
 How long shall they kill our prophets,
 While we stand aside and look?  Ooh!
 Some say it's just a part of it:
 We've got to fulfil de book.

 Won't you help to sing
 These songs of freedom?
 'Cause all I ever have
 Redemption songs
 Redemption songs
 Redemption songs.

 Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
 None but ourselves can free our mind.
 Wo! Have no fear for atomic energy,
 'Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time.
 How long shall they kill our prophets,
 While we stand aside and look?
 Yes, some say it's just a part of it
 We've got to fulfil de book.
 Won't you help to sing
 Dese songs of freedom?
 'Cause all I ever had
 Redemption songs
 All I ever had
 Redemption songs
 These songs of freedom,
 Songs of freedom.
