Just another day seems like everybody's got a problem
And no one knows how but we all want to solve 'em
You could give a dime, give a hand, give a shit
Or could look away and never deal with itFor example, this girl is pretty fly for a white guy
And all the guys want her even though she's a juvenile
She's really kinda sad and just don't care
'Cause the only one she wants is her best friend ClaireWhat's going on? What's going on?
Ready or not, not, the world moves on
And on, and on, and on, and on
And on, and on, yo, what's going on?There's nothing much to me
I'm simple like you are, ordinary
My tired eyes can see that time may fly
And what's left is meant to beI'm looking out and you're looking in
It's taken more then time to erase the stain
And it's never been the sameIn any city a girl turns 17, goes to a party
She and he best friend are drinking Bacardi
Ever since she walked through the door
All the guys have been flexing and tryin' to scoreBut she's a good girl so she won't have none of that
She takes another sip but she has no clue
Of the spike from the G to the H to the B
She wakes up in the morning bruised, raped in the streetWhat's going on? What's going on?
Ready or not, not, the world moves on
And on, and on, and on, and on
And on, and on, yo, what's going on?There's nothing much to me
I'm simple like you are, ordinary
My tired eyes can see that time may fly
And what's left is meant to beI'm looking out and you're looking in
It's taken more then time to erase the stain
And it's never been the sameIn a small town a kid that you know goes to school
He's really kinda shy and not that cool
He knows what it's like to look in from the outside
Inside, wants someone to confideEveryone's busy, no one's got the time
He takes his dad's gun and says, "This is how I'll shine"
Boom, boom, boom and the kids fall down
On the ground dumbfound
(Dumbfound)What's going on? What's going on?
Ready or not, not, the world moves on
And on, and on, and on, and on
And on, and on, yo, what's going on?There's nothing much to me
I'm simple like you are, ordinary
My tired eyes can see that time may fly
And what's left is meant to beI'm looking out and you're looking in
It's taken more then time to erase the stain
And it's never been the sameI'm looking out and you're looking in
It's taken more then time to erase the stain
And it's never been the same
