Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, oh, day in, day out
Sidewalk sleepers turn about
Day by day the work gets done
And day by day another war goes on
[Verse 2]
Where are we going?
Where are we going?
Where are we going?
With all that's goin' on where are we gettin'?
[Verse 3]
Day in, day out
A little boy and girl are goin' out
And day by day baby's babies are born
And day by day people say, Right on
[Verse 4]
Where are we going?
Where are we going?
Where are we going?
With all that's goin' on where are we gettin'?
[Verse 5]
Where?
[Verse 6]
Day in and day out
It gets better, and people shout
And day by day the flames get higher
Lives and pains, they fuel the fire
[Verse 7]
Where are we going?
Where are we going?
Where are we going?
With all that's goin' on where are we gettin'?
[Verse 8]
Where?
[Verse 9]
Where are we going?
And what's the future showing?
Where are we heading?
With all that's goin' on where are we gettin'?
[Verse 10]
Where are we going?
Where are we going?
Where are we going?
Where are we going?
