When You Gonna Learn? Lyrics


Yeah yeah, have you heard the news today?
People right across the world are pledging they will play the game
Victims of a modern world, circumstance has brought us here
Armageddon's come too near, too too near, yeahNow 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 friend to stop the end on each other we depend, oh we dependMountain high and river deep
Stop it going on
We gotta wake this world up from its sleep
Oh, people, stop it going onYeah yeah, have you heard the news today?
Money's on the menu in my favorite restaurant
Well, don't talk about quantity 'cause there's no fish left in the sea
Greedy men been killing all the life there ever wasAnd you better play it nature's way or she will take it all away
And don't try tell me you know more than her about right or wrong
Oh, you've upset the balance man, done the only thing you can
Now my life is in your handsMountain high and river deep, oh yeah
We gotta stop it going on
We gotta wake this world up from its sleep

Oh people, stop it going onMountain high and river deep, yeah
We gotta stop it going on
We gotta wake this world up from its sleep
Oh people, stop it going onGreedy men will fade away, yeah they
Well, we stop it going on
I know it's got to be that way
Oh people stop it going onI'm asking, oh when you gonna learn
To stop it going on?
Now when you gonna learn
To stop it going on?Now when you gonna learn
To stop it going on?
Oh, when you gonna learn
To stop it going 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.
