World Go 'Round

October has been a rough month. For the world, really. The news is just horrific, and everyone seems to be taking sides. Just remember, when it comes to human suffering and loss, we're all on the same side. And people are NOT their government. Thankfully.

I'm not going to get political on here, but I think we can all agree that we've gotta find another way to make the world go 'round.

This one isn't working.

"World Go 'Round" by No Doubt



Lyrics: ▼

In the quickness of our haste
It seems we forget how to live
The old blueprint no longer manifests itself
As the correct way to exist
So wipe the grime off the view hole
And please take a closer look
Environmental bandits up to their shenanigans
Crooks disguised as crooks disguised as...

We gotta find another way to make the world go 'round
(The world go 'round, world go 'round)

Individual roles, we think
Not so important to the plot
The big picture unseen, leaving life in between
Destroyed and overwrought
There's no need to point the finger
We understand who takes the blame
Delinquents caught red-handed in the act
Crooks disguised as you and I...

We gotta find another way to make the world go 'round
(World go 'round, world go 'round)

You see, there's many, many, many, many people in the world
(From end to end, from pole to pole)
And I'm not sure if I like what I've heard
(Far and near, far and wide)
I'm not sure if I like what I'm doing myself
I'm not sure if I like how the world turns, how the world turns

Degradation, great big word
I'm in violation
Unexcusable exploitation
It's the dawning of a new era
People consciously don't care
How unfair

We gotta find another way to make the world go 'round
Yeah, I'll find another way
Send me another way, hey
Find another way to make the world go 'round
World go 'round, world go 'round
You got to send me another way

In the quickness of our haste, we forget how to live
So find another way to make the world go 'round
