Tell me what's happening to this world
|
I've just seen pictures of a girl
|
Lying half-naked in a stream
|
She was so fall of life
|
Yet in one moment killed by a knife
|
Will somebody tell me
|
What's it all supposed to mean?
|
|
Sign on the door says go away
|
Sign on the grass says you will pay
|
Dearly if on it you are seen
|
Ask your neighbour's the time They'll close their curtains pull down the blinds
|
Will somebody tell me
|
What's it all supposed to me?
|
|
You can say what you like
|
About a bike it does ring a bell at least
|
Why provide cars that break every law we make
|
Not the least of which is the speed they can exceed
|
You can say what you like
|
About goodbyes
|
They boost tissue sales at least
|
I don't know anyone whose love has gone
|
Who does not require a multitude of these
|
|
A clip round the ear it must be said
|
Never hurt anyone instead
|
Taught you a lesson you'd not seen
|
And yet do that today
|
You could so easily be put in jail
|
Will somebody tell me
|
What's it all supposed to mean?
|
