Johnny Richter What Kind Of World
OPENING CHORUS
What kind of world are we gunna leave for the next generation?
Look at the problems were facing and new ones that were creatin
Earthquakes, heat-waves, I'm just tryin to say. (Uh Huh)
Man I'm just trying to say. (Uh Huh)
What kind of world are we gunna leave for the next generation?
Look at the problems were facing and new ones that were creatin
No peace in the Middle-East, American troops in harm's way
Man I'm just tryin to say
VERSE 1
In the palm of our hand, we hold the key to open the door to relief
For our planet, going down like the Titanic
We need to unlock our minds, don't matter who's you got
We should all pray
Man I'm just tryin to say
Pay attention to the signs
The water stains on the wall
Major flooding, forest fires
Whatever happened to Fall?
Seasons change, it's a shame, I'm just tryin to say. (Can you hear me?)
Man I'm just tryin to say
What we gunna leave the youth of today, a couple wars?
Some nuclear wasteland?
I got a bad taste, somewhere ???
Conservation is a must, we need to listen to our mother and obey
I'm just tryin to say
Hurricanes are coming stronger and faster
There's melting parts in Alaska
Every month, it's like we have a new natural disaster
Cuttin' trees down, deforestation is not safe. (No way)
Man I'm just tryin to say
Sun beams are beamin in and causing cancer on your skin
Summer's getting hotter every year
Just look at recent trends
Polar ice caps are melt, even the polar bears pack up and move their way
Man I'm just trying to say
What's it gunna be like in 50 years if nothing changes
Shifting of the plates rearrange the mountain ranges
California broke off and became the U.S's second out of state
I'm just tryin to say. (Hey!!)
CHORUS
What kind of world are we gunna leave for the next generation?
Look at the problems were facing and new ones that were creatin
Earthquakes, heat-waves, I'm just tryin to say. (Uh Huh)
Man I'm just trying to say. (Uh Huh)
What kind of world are we gunna leave for the next generation?
Look at the problems were facing and new ones that were creatin
No peace in the Middle-East, American troops in harm's way
Man I'm just tryin to say
VERSE 2
We've had eight plus years of this madness
Colors poster, tell me how afraid to be
I think I'll just sit back and see
Watch Homeland Security take all our freedoms and rights away. (Fuck that!)
Man I'm just tryin to say
There's bloodshed on the battlefield
Too many casualties
My cousin lost his life while he was sweepin the streets
For I.E.D(Improvised Explosive Device), he's 19, man it seems like a dream
And so my family prays
Man I'm just tryin to say
How many kid's we gunna recruit?
It's like we put a price on life
Can't drink a beer we guess we'll teach him how to fight
And we'll teach him how to kill
Come home and expect him to join society
I'm just trying to say
Who we really fightin anyways?
We got a war on terror, drugs, illegal aliens
Man it's insane
We need to focus on what's really a threat and take ya outta the game
Man I'm just tryin to say
BRIDGE
F..ck the politicians makin all the policies
Signing up on a mission from all the comfortable seas
It don't make sense to me, but it makes dollars, war is a business, hey
I'm just tryin to say
VERSE 3
Take a second, look around
Take a second, meditate
Do some soul searchin; is this how you want a legacy?
As an American, I love the troops, but f..ck the war games!!!
Man I'm just tryin to say
...Think about it
Hey! Man I'm just trying to say
CLOSING CHORUS
