Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah, yeah, have you heard the news today?
People right across the world are pledgin' they will play the game
Victims of a modern world, circumstances brought us here
Armageddon's come too near, too, too near, now
[Verse 2]
Foresight is the only key to save our children's destiny
The consequences are so grave, so, so grave, now
The hypocrites, we are their slaves
So, my friends, to stop their end
On each other, we depend
Oh, we depend
[Verse 3]
Mountain high and river deep
Stop it goin' on
We gotta wake this world up from its sleep
Oh, people, stop it goin' on
[Verse 4]
Yeah, yeah, have you heard the news today?
Money's on the menu in my favorite restaurant
Well, don't talk about quality
'Cause there's no fish left in the sea
Greedy men been killin' all the life there ever was
[Verse 5]
And you'd better play it nature's way, or she will take it all away
And don't try and tell me you know more than her
'Bout right from wrong, oh, you've upset the balance, man
Done the only thing you can
Now my life is in your hands
[Verse 6]
Mountain high and river deep, oh yeah
We gotta stop it goin' on
We gotta wake this world up from its sleep
Oh, people, stop it goin' on
[Verse 7]
Uh-huh, hey, uh, uh-huh, hey, uh-huh, hey, uh-huh, hey
Uh-huh, hey
Mountain high and river deep, yeah
We gotta stop it goin' on
We gotta wake this world up from its sleep
[Verse 8]
Oh, people, stop it goin' on
Greedy men will fade away, yeah-yeah
When we stop it goin' on
I know it's got to be that way
But people, stop it goin' on
[Verse 9]
I'm askin', oh, when you gonna learn to stop it goin' on?
Now, when you gonna learn to stop it goin' on?
Now, when you gonna learn to stop it goin' on?
Oh, when you gonna learn to stop it goin' on?
