Lyrics

Just another day. seems like everybody's, got a problem
And no one knows how but, we all wanna solve 'em
And you could give a dime, give a hand, give a shit
Or you could look away and never deal with it

For example, this girl's pretty fly for a white gal
And all the guys want her though she's a juvenile
She's really kinda sad, and just don't care, cuz the only one she wants is her best friend claire

(Chorus)

What's going on, what's going on? ready or not? (not)
The world moves on and on and on and on and on and on and on. . . yo what's going on?

There's nothing much to me. I'm simple like you, ordinary
My tired eyes can see, that time that may fly and what's left is meant to be

And I'm lookin' out, and you're lookin' in
It's takin' more than time to erase the stain
And it's never been the same

Any city. a girl turns 17. she goes to a party
She and her girls are drinkin' bacardi ever since they walked through the door
All the guys have been scopin' and flexin' trying to score
But she's a good girl, so she won't have none of that
She takes another sip, but she has no clue, of the spike from the g to tha h to the b
She wakes up in the morning bruised, raped on the street

What's going on, what's going on? ready or not? (not)
The world moves on and on and on and on and on and on and on. . . yo what's going on?

(Chorus)

In a small town. a kid that you know goes to school
He's really kinda shy and he's not that cool
He knows what it's like to look in from the outside, inside, wants someone to confide
Everyone's busy, no one's got the time
He takes his dad's gun and says this is how I'll shine
Boom boom boom, and the kids fall down on the ground . . . dumbfound

What's going on, what's going on? ready or not? (not)
The world moves on and on and on and on and on and on and on. . . yo what's going on?

(Chorus)
