Life, this is an outrageous life
We're living in
We call this turmoil our life
Oh, and it's gettin' old coming over againBut we don't hear nobody
Say what they're after
And we don't hear nobody
Searching for answersJohn Kennedy died
They thought he had a solution
We want to know
What happened to the revolutionDid we all get hung up in life
And do we all know just where were going
Every thing's wrong
So a change has got to be rightLife, for all the rest of our life
Will we be wrapped up in strife
Or, are we gonna start it all over againWe want to have somebody
Come up with the answers
We want to be somebody
That know's what their afterWe hope that everybody
Can hear what I'm sayin'
We know that we will
If we just keep on prayin'Did we all get hung up in life
And do we all know just where were going
Everything's wrong
So a change has got to be rightLearning to share what were standing on
Learning to care 'cus it's been so long
No one so big that they have it all
We've got to give to the very smallLife, give me the rest of my life
I want to finish it right
So, I don't have to start all over againLet's get together
For some satisfaction
Let's stand together
On a chain reaction
We need somebodyWe could really depend on
Don't wait till tomorrow
'Cause it just might be too longDid we all get hung up in life
And do we all know just where were going
Everything's wrong
So a change has got to be right
