|
Tell me what's happening to this world |
|
I've just seen pictures of a girl |
|
Lying half-naked in a stream |
|
She was so fall of life |
|
Yet in one moment killed by a knife |
|
Will somebody tell me |
|
What's it all supposed to mean? |
|
Sign on the door says go away |
|
Sign on the grass says you will pay |
|
Dearly if on it you are seen |
|
Ask your neighbour's the time They'll close their curtains pull down the blinds |
|
Will somebody tell me |
|
What's it all supposed to mean? |
|
You can say what you like |
|
About a bike it does ring a bell at least |
|
Why provide cars that break every law we make |
|
Not the least of which is the speed they can exceed |
|
You can say what you like |
|
About goodbyes |
|
They boost tissue sales at least |
|
I don't know anyone whose love has gone |
|
Who does not require a multitude of these |
|
A clip round the ear it must be said |
|
Never hurt anyone instead |
|
Taught you a lesson you'd not seen |
|
And yet do that today |
|
You could so easily be put in jail |
|
Will somebody tell me |
|
What's it all supposed to mean? |
