Lyrics

WHEN?S IT GONNA STOP?

VERSE
Black day, dirty rain
I can?t breath, there ain?t no way
I?ll ever buy the lie
That things are looking good
There?s a hole, in the sky
And if it grows, baby we all die
I hear the leaders say
Things are looking good

CHORUS
When?s it gonna stop, when?s it gonna stop
And get better?
When?s it gonna stop, when?s it gonna stop
And get better?

VERSE
There?s a city on a lake
10 million people, give or take
I watch as little children
Pick through garbage piles
And there?s a preacher on the TV set,
He?s saying that money is a sacrament
So I pray to God
That things are looking good

CHORUS
When?s it gonna stop, when?s it gonna stop
And get better?
When?s it gonna stop, when?s it gonna stop
And get better?

VERSE
In the jungle, they?re cutting trees
And when there done what will be
Is just another desert
Desolation row
Who?s gonna stop it, what went wrong?
To much is going, too much gone,
Meet the new lemmings
On the way to the sea

CHORUS
When?s it gonna stop, when?s it gonna stop
And get better?
When?s it gonna stop, when?s it gonna stop
And get better?
