Strange Affair

Hey there, everybody out there gettin' down

Steppin' with the fashions, throwin' love around

You're hustlin' for money, you're playin' the big man's game

Goin' round in circles, you don't know where

Ah, you're smilin' through the pain

Oh, such a strange affair

Don't it blow your mind, mon cher?

I ain't lyin', oh, no, anything goes, hey

You got to keep on tryin' (Got to keep on tryin')

Everybody knows we got to turn it around

Cost of livin' risin' (Everyday, everyday)

Unemployment grows (I ain't got no job)

Wastin' our resources

Who makes all the dough? (Everybody but the poor)

Politicians preachin' (Tellin' lies)

While color watchers freakin'

And children needin' teachin' (Yes, they do)

While for the stars, we're reachin'

Oh, such a strange affair, oh

Don't it blow your mind, mon cher?

I can't stand it, oh, no

It don't need to be that way

I don't want it (Want it, don't want it)

There's just got to be a change

We got to turn it around

Oh, such a strange, a strange, a strange affair

Don't it blow your mind, mon cher?

I can't stand it, no

It don't have to be that way

I don't want it (Want it, don't want it)

There's just got to be a change

I ain't lyin' (Lyin', I ain't lyin')

Oh, no, anything goes, oh (Anything goes)

You just got to keep on tryin' (Got to keep on tryin')

Yeah, everybody knows

We got to turn it around

People, clap your hands

People, ow, clap your hands now

Everywhere you look now

You see lyin'

People runnin', runnin', goin' nowhere

Nobody cares, it's strange

People playin' games

Strange affair, I swear

Strange affair

Strange affair

I can't dig it, no

So strange, I just can't get with it

I can't dig it, no

It's so strange, I just can't get with it, ooh

Strange affair (Strange affair)

Strange affair (Strange affair)

Strange affair (Strange affair)

Strange affair (Strange affair)

Strange affair

Rich get richer

And no money, brother

It's just too, too, too, too bad now, baby

Strange affair, I swear

And I swear

Strange affair
