|
Hey there everybody, out there gettin down
|
Steppin with the fashions, throwin love around
|
You're hustlin for money, you playin' the big man's game
|
Going around in circles, you don't know where
|
Ah, you're smilin' through the pain
|
|
Oh, such a strange affair
|
Don't it blow your mind, mon cher
|
I ain't lyin', anything goes
|
you got to keep on tryin'
|
Everybody knows we got to turn it around
|
|
Cost of livin' risin'
|
Unemployment grows (I ain't got no job)
|
Wastin' our resources
|
Who's makes all the dough? (Everybody but the po')
|
Politicians Preachin
|
While color watchers are freakin'
|
Children needin' Teachin'
|
While for the stars we're reachin'
|
|
Oh, such a strange affair
|
Don't it blow your mind, mon cher
|
I can't stand it, it don't need to be that way
|
I don't want it
|
Yeah, there's got to be a change
|
We got to turn it around
|
