"On & On & On" lyrics

One, two, three, four

Well, I still remember that night
It was the fourth of July
It's still engraved in my mind
And I'm not surprised
Gang wars, no guns, hand to hand
(You're) black, and (I'm) white, and (he's) purple
But I still don't understand

I'm going to be alright
I'm going to be okay
Everything is going to be fi-i-i-i-ine
Back off, I want to be alone
I want to think it out
And I'm thinking that I want to go home

Look who's laughing now (look who's laughing now)
I'll pull it off somehow, and he said
As I passed her by
I could see her cry
And I'll never forget the look that was in her eye
And the music, you know it played on and on and on
So won't somebody tap her on the shoulder
Tell her life goes on?

Three years, two months, one week, four days
I'm always counting down
'Cause there ain't no easier way
So trust me you know that I tried
And if I said it's easy then you know that I told a lie

I'm going to be all right
I'm going to be just fine
One down, five billion to go
Am I next in line?
Do I really wanna know?

Look who's laughing now (look who's laughing now)
I'll pull it off somehow, and he said
As I passed her by
I could see her cry
And I'll never forget the look that was in her eye
And the music, you know it played on and on and on
So won't somebody tap her on the shoulder
Tell her life goes on?

Still remember that night
It was the fourth of July
Still engraved in my mind
And I'm not surprised
Gang wars, no guns, hand to hand
(You're) black, and (I'm) white, and (he's) purple
But I still don't understand

I'm going to be alright
I'm going to be okay
Everything is going to be fi-i-i-ine
Back off 'cause I want to be alone
I want to think it out
I'm thinking that I want to go...

Three years, two months, one week, four days
I'm always counting down
There ain't no easier way
So trust me, you know that I tried
And if I said it's easy then you know that I told a lie

I'm going to be all right
I'm going to be just fine
One down, five billion to go
Am I next in line?
Do I really wanna know?

Look who's laughing now
Pull it off somehow, and he said
As I passed her by
I could see her cry
And I'll never forget the look that was in her eye
And the music, you know it played on and on and on
So won't somebody tap her on the shoulder
Tell her life goes on?
