Lyrics
v1
we've got to take a stand we got to understand
our future is in danger
we've got to raise our voice we got to make a choice
stop living like we're strangers
got to have an answer long before the day is done
v2
the situation's black and white gonna knock the future outta sight
by fighting fire with fire
sink the ploughshares into land farmers need a helping hand
it's getting down to the wire
got to have an answer long before the day is done
bridge/chorus
working all your life cant save a dime
even when you're working overtime
there's got to be a solution
missiles on the border everywhere signpost says "just beware"
cant you see the writing's on the wall
v3
you dont hear a thing i say, what's the problem anyway
i got my own circumstances
got a mortgage BIG with tons of bills, relax potions and stress pills
i dont take any chances
got to have an answer long before the day is done
bridge/chorus
walking on the beach swimming in the sea take a breath of fresh
and learn to live with pollution
nuclear winter should be fun ooh baby, we've just begaun
cant you see the writing's on the wall
bridge/chorus
hourglass loses its sifting sand choice is in our hands
we're wal;king a fine line
pendulum swings left and right one side sun the other endless night
outro
the writing's on the wall
the writing's on the wall
the writing's on the wall
the writing's on the wall
