Ian Hunter — Somethin’s Goin’ On

(ian hunter)

The spirit of war is all around us
’n’ everybody knows somethin’s goin’ on

Fasten your seat belts — say goodbye to your mothers
Cos everybody knows somethin’s goin’ on

Nuclear missiles — cover to cover
Everybody knows somethin’s goin’ on

The world is a subway — all the leaders are muggers
’n’ everybody knows somethin’s goin’ on

Well I say
Roll up to the party — welcome to the show
We’ll make you live in fear — then we’ll make you disappear
Somethin’s goin’ on ’n’ everybody knows

What you got — what you got
Everybody knows somethin’s goin’ on
Most people got nothin’ — a few got the lot
’n’ everybody knows — it’s still goin’ on

Well I say
Roll up to the circus — welcome to death row
Just do what we say — then we’ll blow you all away
Somethin’s goin’ on ’n’ everybody knows

What about hunger… are they just another number?
We’re all an endangered species
’n’ everybody knows — it’s still goin’ on

Well I say
Welcome to thanksgiving — what we reap is what we sow
We’ll watch you die in vain from the safety of our plane
Somethin’s goin’ on ’n’ everybody knows
