Lyrics:Rick Nielsen Music:Rick Nielsen All right-I saw the writing on the wall All night-I saw the writing on the wall I saw the writing on the wall Lo and behold Heard it on the radio It was a long time comin' But it sounds so sweet Come on, man, get off my back All right-I saw the writing on the wall All night-I saw the writing on the wall In the Midwest, and the East Canada, South, West, around the world L.A. Tokyo, sounds so sweet Come on, honey, get on your feet All right-I saw the writing on the wall All night-I saw the writing on the wall I saw the writing on the wall The words were oh so The words were oh so clear Saw it at the airport Saw it on TV Read it in a magazine runnin' down the street Makes no sense but I hope it's gonna last The next big thing-Ha I really gotta laugh Worked and slaved and played like hell Everybody's goin' crazy you're the last to know I can't explain it, still a joke to me Maybe I'm naive 'cause it's so plain to see It's right in front of your face, man It's right in front of your face, man Played like hell Played like hell
