You Can't Make It That Way de Malvina Reynolds

It isn't one by one that we can make it.
It isn't one by one that we can make it.
You can't creep into a hole,
And cultivate your soul,
You can't make it that way.
You can't make it that way,
You can't make it that way,
You and I and all together
Meet them as they come,
Otherwise we'll go under one by one.

It isn't one by one that we can make it.
It isn't one by one that we can make it.
You can't lock and bolt the door,
There's no hiding anymore,
You can't make it that way.
You can't make it that way,
You can't make it that way.
You and I and all together
Meet them as they come,
Otherwise we'll go under one by one.

It isn't one by one that we can make it.
It isn't one by one that we can make it.
If you hide into a cave,
That cave will be your grave.
You can't make it that way.
You can't make it that way,
You can't make it that way.
You and I and all together
Meet them as they come,
Otherwise we'll go under one by one.

It isn't one by one that we can make it.
It isn't one by one that we can make it.
Don't pretend that you can't see
Your brother's pain and misery.
You can't make it that way.
You can't make it that way,
You can't make it that way.
You and I and all together
Meet them as they come,
Otherwise we'll go under one by one.

It isn't one by one that we can make it.
It isn't one by one that we can make it.
In our thousands we are strong.
But divided we are done.
You can't make it that way.
You can't make it that way,
You can't make it that way.
You and I and all together
Meet them as they come,
Otherwise we'll go under one by one.
