What's Going On
Sharpen the knife of hatred with fear
and you're asking for trouble
Just the idea that a war could end a war
is no way to stop fighting
'cause it makes no sense
Does nobody know what's going on?
chorus:
What's going on now in Rwanda
What's going on now in Darfur
What's going on in Sadr City
Tell me, What's going on?
Now those camps are just a memory,
but their legacy lingers
I thought we said, 'never again'
at least not in my lifetime
but if you look around
You'll have to ask, what's going on?
chorus
Not 10 years after the Olympic bliss
and Sarajevo was burning
While my country of TV
wasted its liberty
upon the couch
too little too late
Does nobody care, what's going on?
chorus
It's easy to say, 'what can I do?'
easy to think you don't matter
We all have voices and a little light to shine
and those voices have power
but first, you've gotta know what's going on
chorus
