When You Gonna Learn? (Cante Hondo Mix) Lyrics


Yeah, yeah, have you heard the news today?
People right across the world
Are pledging they will play the game.
Victims of the modern world,
Circumstance has brought us here,
Armageddon's come too near,
Too, too near now.
Foresight is the only key,
To save our children's destiny,
The consequences are so grave,
So, so grave now.
The hypocrites we are their slaves,
So my friends to stop the end,
On each other we depend,
Oh, we depend.
Mountain high and river deep,
Stop it goin' on.
We gotta wake this world up from its sleep,

Oh, people.
Stop it goin' on.Yeah, yeah, have you heard the news today?
Money's on the menu in my favourite restaurant.
Well don't talk about quantity,
'Cuz there's no fish left in the sea;
Greedy men been killing all the life there ever was.
And you'd better play it nature's way,
Or she will take it all away,
And don't try and tell me you know more than her 'bout right from
wrong.
Oh you've upset the balance man,
Done the only thing you can,
Now my life is in your hands.
Mountain high and river deep,
Oh yeah,
We've gotta stop it goin' on.
We gotta wake this world up from its sleep,
Oh, people,
Stop it goin' on.Mountain high and river deep, yeah,
We've gotta stop it goin' on.
We gotta wake this world up from its sleep,
Oh, people,
Stop it goin' on.Greedy men will fade away yeah yeah yeah,
When we stop it goin' on.
I know it's got to be that way,
Oh, people,
Stop it goin' on.
I'm asking:
Oh, when you gonna learn?
To stop it goin' on?
Now when you gonna learn?
To stop it goin' on?
Now when you gonna learn?
To stop it goin' on?
Oh when you gonna learn?
To stop it goin' on?

Jamiroquai is a funk/acid jazz band which formed in London, England, United Kingdom in 1992. The band currently consists of Jason 'Jay Kay' Cheetham (vocals), Matt Johnson (keyboards), Rob Harris (guitar), Paul Turner (bass), Derrick McKenzie (drums) , Sola Akingbola (percussion), Lorraine McIntosh (backing vocals) and Hazel Fernandez (backing vocals). The name "Jamiroquai" is derived from the Native American Iroquois tribe, with which Kay has said he identifies philosophically, combined with 'Jam', as in musical jamming.

After Jay Kay auditioned unsuccessfully to be the singer of the Brand New Heavies, he decided to put together his own band. Jamiroquai's first single, "When You Gonna Learn?", was released in 1992 on the Acid Jazz label. Following its success, Kay signed a £1,000,000 eight-album record deal with Sony BMG Music Entertainment. The band enjoys worldwide popularity and is the best-known member of the early-1990s London-based acid jazz movement, alongside groups such as Incognito, Galliano, and Corduroy. Jamiroquai has since, however, moved in other musical directions.
