Lives Go 'round

You watch TV. You listen to the radio,
To find out what's going on in this world.
The media's intention is to attract attention,
And lead us all astray.
In a world gone crazy, our minds are lazy,
On an earth that's turning to dust.
I wonder sometimes which way we will go,
And what will become of us.

And so we're watching our lives go round.

The kid on the street is just another number,
In a system of crime and deceit.
Another new invention full of good intention,
Can't help with this poor boy's need.
In a world gone crazy, our minds are lazy,
On an earth that's turning to dust.
In our lives, if we work at what we do,
Conscious of things we left to rust.

And so we're watching our lives go 'round.

We drive fast cars that we can't control.
Why have them in the first place.
Everything around us moving so fast,
Gotta keep up the pace.
We're living our lives from day to day,
They say, 'He who hesitates is lost."
Is it any wonder the years fly by?
Do we ever stop to count the cost?

No matter what we do, we've gotta stick together,
'Cause we've only just begun.
On a world revolving around the sun,
We should stay together as one.

Watching our lives go 'round.
And so we're watching our lives go round.

We are watching, we are waiting for you.

You watch TV, you listen to the radio.
