The dollar went down and the president said
'whoand's in charge, now?' i donand't know, take your pick.
a new disease every day and the old ones are coming back
things are looking kind of gray, like theyand're going to black
Donand't turn on the tv, donand't show me the paper
(i) donand't want to know he got kidnapped or why they all raped her
i want to go on vacation 'till the pressure lets up
but they keep hijacking airplanes and blowing them up
(refrain)
itand's been a hard day on the planet
how much is it all worth?
itand's getting harder to understand it
things are tough all over on earth.
Itand's hot in december and cold in july
when it rains it pours out of a poisonous sky
in california the body counts keep getting higher
itand's evil out there, man that state is always on fire.
Everyone has a system, but they canand't seem to win
even bob geldorf looks alarmingly thin
i got to get on that shuttle get me out of this place
but thereand's gonna be warfare up there in outer space
(refrain)
iand've got clothes on my back and shoes on my feet
a roof over my head and something to eat
my kids are all healthy and my folks are alive
you know, itand's amazing but sometimes i think iand'll survive
Iand've got all of my fingers and all of my toes
iand'm pretty well off i guess, i suppose
so how come i feel bad so much of the time?
a man ainand't an island—john dunn wasnand't lying
(refrain)
itand's business as usual; some things never change
itand's unfair, itand's tough, unkind and itand's strange
we donand't seem to learn; we canand't seem to stop
maybe some explosions would close up the shop
You know, maybe that would be fine: we would be off the hook
we resolved all our problems, never mind what it took
and it all would be over, finito, the end
until the survivers started up all over again
(refrain)
