Life Goes On

Hey! Wat’cha do today?
I gave the news away.
It all seems madness. So much sadness.
P’raps I should run away!

Hey! What’cha do today?
I travelled on a train.
I was talking too an Arab and a Jew,
It made me believe again.
Chorus:
Life goes on, Life goes round.
Ya gotta keep your ear right down to the ground.
If everyone was listening for the sound
We just might get some (chorus 1) peace down
(chorus 2) love down.
(chorus 3) harmony down.

Hey! Wat’cha do today?
I gave the game away,
I told a young fella there I didn’t really care!
He listened anyway.

Hey what’cha doin’ tonight?
I lost my appetite.
New Zealand says, “STOP, we’re not a Nuclear Cop.”
But the TV tells us might is right.
Chorus 2:

So where are we going to go?
I find it nice to know.
We’re all harnessed with blinkers by the system and its thinkers,
But there’s still a little room to grow.

So I look with my face to the light,
And I hope I find some tonight!
We’re not winning the battle, too many people are cattle,
But we watch with a new kind of sight.
Chorus 3:
Repeat chorus 1, then 2 up “we just might get some LOVE . . .”
