[Verse 1] Talked to my friend again today Forty days and forty nights It rained all over the world To be exact (To be exact) Sinners played and disobeyed The Word coming down That's a fact (That's a fact) [Pre-Chorus] Some people take it for a joke Just can't understand They nailed our Savior to the cross But He told them all He would rise again, rise again [Chorus] I talked to my friend again today This is what he had to say: He said we're goin' up in smoke Goin' up in smoke And we ain't got no hope We're goin' up in smoke Goin' up in smoke Goin' up in smoke And we ain't got no hope 'Cause we're goin' up in smoke [Verse 2] I talked to my friend again today Don't be afraid by what I say Don't wait 'til Judgement Day To start to pray Stop the hate, killing now We'll all have to go anyhow [Pre-Chorus] Everybody's having tons of fun But who's gonna take the blame? Each day the Sun gets close to Earth So we'll all go up in burning flames Burning flames [Chorus] I talked to my friend again today This is what he had to say: He said we're goin' up in smoke Goin' up in smoke And we ain't got no hope 'Cause we're goin' up in smoke Goin' up in smoke (Goin' up in smoke) Goin' up in smoke Hey, hey, we ain't got no hope 'Cause we're goin' up in smoke [Bridge] Oh, I talked to my friend today [Instrumental Break] [Pre-Chorus] Everybody's having tons of fun Who's gonna take the blame? Each day the Sun gets close to Earth So we'll all go up in burning flames Burning flames [Chorus] Talked to my friend again today This is what he had to say: He said we're goin' up in smoke Goin' up in smoke And we ain't got no hope 'Cause we're goin' up in smoke Goin' up in smoke Goin' up in smoke Hey, we ain't got no hope 'Cause we're goin' up in smoke Goin' up in smoke Goin' up in smoke We ain't got no hope Said we're goin' up in smoke Goin' up in smoke Goin' up in smoke We ain't got no hope Goin' up in smoke [Bridge] Hey, hey, goin' up in smoke Goin' up in smoke We ain't got no hope Goin' up in smoke Goin', goin' Yeah, sinners prayed, disobeyed The Word coming down That's why we're goin' up in smoke And we ain't got no hope Oh, no, no, no Goin', ooh-hoo-hoo, yeah Everybody's having tons of fun Who wanna take the blame?
