The dollar went down and the President said
|
¡°Who's in charge, now?¡± I don't know, take your pick.
|
A new disease every day and the old ones are coming back
|
Things are looking kind of gray, like they're going to black
|
|
Don't turn on the TV, don't show me the paper
|
(I) don't want to know he got kidnapped or why they all raped her
|
I want to go on vacation 'till the pressure lets up
|
But they keep hijacking airplanes and blowing them up
|
|
(Refrain)
|
It's been a hard day on the planet
|
How much is it all worth?
|
It's getting harder to understand it
|
Things are tough all over on earth.
|
|
It's hot in December and cold in July
|
When it rains it pours out of a poisonous sky
|
In California the body counts keep getting higher
|
It's evil out there, man that state is always on fire.
|
Everyone has a system, but they can't seem to win
|
Even Bob Geldorf looks alarmingly thin
|
I got to get on that shuttle get me out of this place
|
But there's gonna be warfare up there in outer space
|
(Refrain)
|
I've got clothes on my back and shoes on my feet
|
A roof over my head and something to eat
|
My kids are all healthy and my folks are alive
|
You know, it's amazing but sometimes I think I'll survive
|
|
I've got all of my fingers and all of my toes
|
I'm pretty well off I guess, I suppose
|
So how come I feel bad so much of the time?
|
A man ain't an island?John Dunn wasn't lying
|
(Refrain)
|
It's business as usual; some things never change
|
It's unfair, it's tough, unkind and it's strange
|
We don't seem to learn; we can't seem to stop
|
Maybe some explosions would close up the shop
|
|
You know, maybe that would be fine: we would be off the hook
|
We resolved all our problems, never mind what it took
|
And it all would be over, finito, the end
|
Until the survivers started up all over again
|
(Refrain)
|
