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
