What In The World

The world is slow to change
Big government likes it this way
It`s an us vs. them, no-win situation
The scam goes on ad infinitum
Whatever happened to honest John
When behind every righteous act
Someone`s doin` us wrong
What in the world is goin` on

The chasm`s expanding across
The great divide of have and have-nots
It`s a preoccupation of powerful nations
To award the rich in exchange for donations
I`d shut my mouth and not come on so strong
But the government has its head
Where it don`t belong
What in the world is goin` on

Corporate malfeasance is a slick
Trick of the books that`s become epidemic
Big brotha`s had his dirty hand in the jar
For so damn long ain`t no more cookies

I see the human cost
Lives ruined, jobs lost
To turn it around for the better
We must act now and come together
It`s the same political scam and con
If that ain`t a kick in the pants
Well I`ll be doggone
What in the world is goin` on
What in the world is goin` on
What in the world is goin` on
What in the world is goin` on
