Just another day

Seems like everybody's got a problem

And no one knows how but we all want to solve 'em

You could give a dime, give a hand, give a shit

Or could look away and never deal with it

For example, this girl is pretty fly for a white gal

And all the guys want her though she's a juvenile

She's really kinda sad and just don't care

'Cause the only one she wants is her best friend Claire

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 are, ordinary (simple like you are)

My tired eyes can see

That time may fly and what's left is meant to be

I'm looking out and you're looking in

It's taken more then time to erase the stain

And it's never been the same

In any city a girl turns 17, she goes to a party

She and her girls are drinking Bacardi

Ever since she walked through the door

All the guys have been flexing and tryin' 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 the 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?

There's nothing much to me

I'm simple like you are, ordinary (simple like you are)

My tired eyes can see

That time may fly and what's left is meant to be

I'm looking out and you're looking in

It's taken more then time to erase the stain

And it's never been the same

In a small town a 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

(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?

There's nothing much to me

I'm simple like you are, ordinary (simple like you are)

My tired eyes can see

That time may fly and what's left is meant to be

I'm looking out and you're looking in

It's taken more then time to erase the stain

And it's never been the same

I'm looking out and you're looking in

It's taken more then time to erase the stain

And it's never been the same
