What's the world coming to? What am I suppose to do? We gotta find love today I know there's a way It's gonna be alright I'm from the west, sf, started by the gold rush Where 300 thou(sand), came to get their pockets swollen up Shaking pans, making plans for a hold up Killing millions of indians arrows and bows flushed A century later ain't a damn thing changed The homeless shake cans for a dollar and some change Kids steal a 12 gauge, protection from a blade Or put it in a tellers face to offset minimum wage Is this americas greed or survival skills? We needs a dollar from the streets to the highest hills In japan, where a tsunami killed thousands Haiti, indonesia, new orleans public housing Around the world, many seek opportunity But some chase the green, get the blues and a eulogy All for that leather trim and some better rims We just a need a dollar ya'll forget the tom foolery What's the world coming to? What am I suppose to do? We gotta find love today I know there's a way It's gonna be alright Now there's a war outside That's taking too many lives What's left to do but cry? (yeah) But you gotta believe in something Don't just stand for nothing So fight for your rights and lets end this war! What's the world coming to? What am I suppose to do? We gotta find love today I know there's a way It's gonna be alright I've seen people get shot below my window sill Over love of drugs and wrinkled bills Thugs hugging stainless steel with intent to kill Out to destroy for real what was meant to build Sporting scars on their sleeves And walk their hearts on a leash Barking at peace, talking smart with police You think its gonna stop soon brother? As long as the sun shines we'll always have thunder But love conquers all so we'll always have to wonder What life could be like if we lived loved for others Cause for sure, we know what its like without it Just look at that body and chalk lines that surround it What's the world coming to? What am I suppose to do? We gotta find love today I know there's a way It's gonna be alright
