Lyrics
Going nowhere Man
what the hell you gonna leave em - when you're gone
how much pain an misery - can be done
it's a fast down hill tumble - till the end of days
when the hell you gonna learn - to mend your ways
the ice n snow is melting - fast away
the children of tomorrow - will have to pay
everybody, points there finger -we sure know who's to blame
just look ,in the mirror - we all look the same
Chorus
in the world of goin nowhere - everybody, knows the truth if we could pull together - we'd know just what to do
but we're to busy taken - everything we can
that's why we're here livin -and goin nowhere man
Lead
the Moslems, Jews n Christians - can't get along
they've been - killing - each other - in the name of God
they're praying for the rapture - looking for the end
break it all in peace's - God can put it back again
Chorus
in the world of goin nowhere - we could all be free
every man could be livin - the way he wants to be
but we're to busy hateting - every different man
that's why we're here livin - and goin nowhere man
goin nowhere goin nowhere goin nowhere man
