[Intro] It's such a cold, cold world It's such a bold, bold, world Yeah, people that don't dig people are drag Right on [Verse 1] People movin' out, people movin' in Why? Because of the color of their skin Run, run, run, but you sure can't hide An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth Vote for me, and I'll set you free Rap on, sister, rap on Well, the only person talkin' about, "Love thy brother" is a preacher And it seems nobody's interested in learnin' But the teacher [Bridge 1] Segregation (Segregation) Determination (Determination) Demonstration (Demonstration) Obligation to our nation [Verse 2] Well, that's what the world is today, yeah, yeah The sale of pills are at an all time high Young folks walkin' 'round with their heads in the sky Cities aflame in the summertime And, oh-oh-oh, the beat goes on Air pollution, revolution, gun control, sound of soul Shootin' rockets to the moon Kids growin' up too soon Politicians say more taxes will solve everything, well And the band played on [Instrumental Break] [Bridge 2] So 'round and around and around we go Where the world's headed, nobody knows Music, take me home Reach out and touch the sky Music, take me home Reach out and touch the sky Music, take me home Reach out and touch the sky [Chorus] Freak ooga-booga, can't you hear me talkin' to you?
