Lyrics

[Chorus 1] Oh, the world's situation should be rated X, rated X Said, the world's situation should be rated X, yeah, rated X Listen, people! [Verse 1] Not only in the movie shows Take a look outside, it's where the truth is really told It's live in living color Fighting, killing, and dope dealing, it's everywhere [Chorus 2] What about the crime? Rated X What about the killing, fighting, stealing everywhere? They let the children see life destroyed But they won't let them see the making Oh, what happened to God's creation? [Verse 2] The one thing that really bothers me the most Is how we calmly take the lives of other folk The world today is in a grave situation Dirty water, we can't drink – dirty air, it's so unfair Na-na-na-na-na-na Oh, I know something is missing all over the world Woo... rated X Ooh, rated X Ooh, rated X, baby I know something is missing all over the world Oh, rated X Ooh, rated X Ooh, rated X, baby I know something is missing all over the world [Chorus 1] Oh, the world's situation should be rated X, rated X Said, the world's situation should be rated X, yeah, rated X Listen, people! [Chorus 2] What about the crime? Rated X What about the air? Rated X What about the killing, fighting, stealing everywhere? They let the children see life destroyed But they don't let them see its making Oh, what happened to God's creation? [Post-Chorus] Where's the love? Where's the peace? Where's the joy? Where's the hope for us all? Love has been rated X Hate is all the way rated X [Outro] Oh, the world's situation should be rated X, rated X
