just another day. seems like everybody´s, got a problem.
and you don´t know how but, we all wanna solve ´em.
and you can give a dime, give a hand, give a shit.
or you could look away and never deal with it.

for example, this girl´s pretty fly for a while gal.
and all the guys want her though she´s a juvenile.
it´s really kinda sad, and just don´t care, cuz the only one she wants is her best friend claire.

(chorus)

what´s going on, what´s going on? ready or not? (not)
the world moves on and on and on and on and on and on and on... yo what´s going on?

there´s nothing much to me. i´m simple like you, ordinary.
my tired eyes can see, that time that may fly and what´s left is meant to be.

and i´m lookin´ out, and you´re lookin´ in.
it´s takin´ more than time to erase the stain.
and it´s never been the same.

any city. a girl turns 17. she goes to a party.
she and her girls are drinkin´ bicardi ever since they walked through the door.
all the guys have been scopin´ and flexin´ trying to score.
but she´s a good girl, so she won´t have none of that.
she takes another sip, but she has no clue, of the spike from the g to tha h to the b.
she wakes up in the morning bruised, raped on the street.

what´s going on, what´s going on? ready or not? (not)
the world moves on and on and on and on and on and on and on... yo what´s going on?

(chorus)

your town. every kid that you know goes to school.
he´s really kinda shy and he´s not that cool.
he knows what it´s like to look in from the outside, inside, wants someone to confide.
everyone´s busy, no one´s got the time.
he takes his dad´s gun and says this is how i´ll shine.
boom boom boom, and the kids fall down on the ground... dumbfound.

what´s going on, what´s going on? ready or not? (not)
the world moves on and on and on and on and on and on and on... yo what´s going on?

(chorus)
