What is the world coming to
What is the world coming to
Just look around, and tell me that you're happy with the time
Baby, what is the world coming to

Stand on any street when the day is done
And the workers are going home
All sick and tired and afraid to move
They live and die by the noon day sun
Oh oh oh my people don't know
What this living is all about
And oh oh oh its hurts me so
So I've just got to get it out
Get it out, scream and shout

What is the world coming to
What is the world coming to
Just look around, and tell me that you're happy with the time
Baby, what is the world coming to

People of the world should all be unite
Like I heard somebody say before
Why has everybody got to fight
Just to get what they're looking for
Oh oh oh the misery shows
But tell me what it's all about
Oh oh oh seems nobody knows
So I've just got to get it out
Get it out, scream and shout

What is the world coming to
What is the world coming to
Just look around, and tell me that you're happy with the time
Baby, what is the world coming to
Oh baby, what is the world coming to
Won't someone tell me
What is the world coming to
