[Chorus]

[Justin Timberlake]
|
The nature of the world today
|
The nature of the world today
|
The nature of the world today
|
The nature of the world today

|
[Will.I.Am]
|
Stop, stop,stop
|
Stop smiling 'cos the way the world's moving's not funny,
|
School system conditioning your child to be a dummy,
|
Ain't no education in education hunny,
|
School teacher's only rackin' up a little money,
|
T.V.'s raising kids in the new era,
|
And I don't see a prophet that'll prophesize it clearer,
|
Dayum if Christ comes back they'll probably kill him,
|
Crucify him twice just to keep the people from hearin',
|
The message that you and I should be hearin',
|
The unhearable,
|
What I'm getting to is this world is somethin' terrible,
|
I've had it up to hear 'cos being blind's unbearable,
|
It sounds like I'm goin' deaf,
|
So now I'll go hysterical,
|
'Cos living in a world that's not harmonius is deafening,
|
There's no life business but death is a profession,
|
You got morticians and coroners, exorcism performers,
|
But we ain't got nobody there positioned just to warn us of the
|
Dum, dum, dum, dum, dum conditioning,
|
We gettin' elementary, it's funny how they put us in a dummy state o' mind,
|
A dummy state o' mind
|
I ain't smiling 'cos all they got is money on they mind,
|
That's the nature...
|
|
[Chorus]
|
The nature of the world today,
|
The nature of the world today,
|
The nature of the world today,
|
The nature of the world today.

|
[Will.I.Am]
|
Money got me dog, money got you,
|
Money got you working just to pay off your coupe,
|
Money got the gas prices higher than ever,
|
The people runnin' money yo they gotta be clever because if you ain't got no money then you wanna get some,
|
People want money more than education,
|
And if you wanna education then you gotta pay to get it,
|
Money's the new God, if it ain't who is it?,
|
Looking back at the dollar, In God We Trust
|
Fuck that, money ain't God and money ain't us,
|
People will save a dime, people will save a dollar,
|
They hesitate to save a life if they hear a holler,
|
So holler, holler, holler if I'm hitting you with purity,
|
Homeland security is insecurity, secure the homeland with proper education,
|
Expand the minds of the youth and build up the nation,
|
And compete in a whole new world of technology,
|
We been brainwashed and tricked psychologically,
|
And we just consumers so go get ya money,
|
And buy a diamond ring for your honey,
|
But fuck that, I realise I'm shinin' like the sun,
|
Got enlightened and enlightened everyone,
|
I realise I'm shinin' like the sun,
|
Get enlightened and learn a little somethin' about the nature...
|
|
[Chorus]
|
[Justin Timberlake]
|
The nature of the world today,
|
The nature of the world today,
|
The nature of the world today,
|
The nature of the world today,
