"Somethin's Goin' On" lyrics
"Somethin's Goin' On"
The spirit of war is all around us
And everybody knows somethin's goin' on
Fasten your seat belts - say goodbye to your mothers
Cos everybody knows somethin's goin' on
Nuclear missiles - cover to cover
Everybody knows somethin's goin' on
The world is a subway - all the leaders are muggers
And everybody knows somethin's goin' on
Well, I say
Roll up to the party - welcome to the show
We'll make you live in fear - then we'll make you disappear
Somethin's goin' on and everybody knows
What you got - what you got
Everybody knows somethin's goin' on
Most people got nothin' - a few got the lot
And everybody knows - it's still goin' on
Well, I say
Roll up to the circus - welcome to death row
Just do what we say - then we'll blow you all away
Somethin's goin' on and everybody knows
What about hunger... are they just another number?
We're all an endangered species
And everybody knows - it's still goin' on
Well, I say
Welcome to Thanksgiving - what we reap is what we sow
We'll watch you die in vain from the safety of our plane
Somethin's goin' on and everybody knows

You know it's true

Faces - "Too Bad" Too bad we were thrown downstairs;
We never got a chance to sing.
We were quite polite with one invite
To keep us off the streeet.
We mingled for a minute or two
With the high class clientele.

Adam Ant - "Desperate But Not Serious" If I ask you difficult questions
If I make improper suggestions
Would you find that a risk to your health?
Would you put me up on the bookshelf?
With the books
And the plants
Desperate but not...
Chilliwack - "Lonesome Mary" I went down to see lonesome Mary
She was sitting all alone
She was crying for the contrariness
That made a desert of her home
She was weeping and a-wailing
You know she does it every day

Golden Earring - "Candy's Going Bad" Candy took the pearls, got ahead of the girls
Got on top and found the secret entrance
Are you satisfied?
Through neon doors, 'cross killing floors
She got sucked into a champagne desert
Are you...
