Somethin's Goin’ On Songtext
von Ian Hunter

(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
