(ian hunter)
The spirit of war is all around us
‘n’ 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
‘n’ 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 ‘n’ everybody knows
What you got – what you got
Everybody knows somethin’s goin’ on
Most people got nothin’ – a few got the lot
‘n’ 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 ‘n’ everybody knows
What about hunger… are they just another number?
We’re all an endangered species
‘n’ 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 ‘n’ everybody knows
