What's Goin' On

Does anybody realize what's goin' on

take a look around and you will see that we're destroying ourselves

does everybody out there have a chip on their shoulders

or is it that we've got nothing, nothing better to doBeatings of five to one wasn't enough

now we're using everything from chains

to knives and guns

how much more of this do we have to take

before we realize it's such a senseless wasteDoes anybody out there hear the cries

of mothers who have lost their children

to your foolish games

when are you gonna realize

that it's all just, just a senseless wasteYou think that it's just a game

well, i've got one thing to explain

someday your luck will fail

then you'll wind up dead or jailed
