Does anybody realize what's goin' on

take a look around and you will see that we're destroying ourselves

does everybody out there have a chip on their shoulders 

or is it that we've got nothing, nothing better to do 



Beatings of five to one wasn't enough 

now we're using everything from chains 

to knives and guns 

how much more of this do we have to take 

before we realize it's such a senseless waste 



Does anybody out there hear the cries

of mothers who have lost their children 

to your foolish games 

when are you gonna realize

that it's all just, just a senseless waste



You think that it's just a game 

well, i've got one thing to explain 

someday your luck will fail 

then you'll wind up dead or jailed
