Verse
It’s another hot humid cloudy day,
The winds are blowin’, it looks like rain
Hottest year on record, so they say
We got a problem that’s not goin’ away
Verse
Louis Armstrong sang “What a Wonderful World”
Like he was in love with a beautiful girl
I want to go outside and feel that way
Looks like Armageddon is comin’ our way
Chorus
If you want to make the world a better place
If you want to do something for the human race
You can’t put it off, you got to act today
Because you know that we can’t go on this way
Verse:
Eight billion people, give or take a few
Everybody’s got to eat, so what can you do?
Well, you can’t close your eyes and look the other way
We’ve got a problem that ain’t goin’ away
Verse
If you want to drink clean water and breathe fresh air
That SUV won’t take you there
‘Cause this old world can only take so much
You just might not want to push your luck
Repeat Chorus
Verse
Don’t you know things have got to change
If you want this world to be the same
If we stay this course, if we stay in this lane
Chances are we’re gonna lose this game
Verse
You can win without fighting; you can fight and not win
When you duck the truth you’re committing a sin
When they kick you out of heaven you can’t get back in
No matter how you shuck and jive, or how you spin
Repeat Chorus
Verse
You can fool some people all of the time
They’ll take the bait hook, sinker and line
But don’t kid yourself, it’s all about greed
It’s all about taking much more than you need
We can’t go on this way
We can’t go on this way
We can’t go on this way
We can’t go on this way
You know, we can’t go on, we can’t go on
We can’t go on, we can’t go on this way
