Lyrics
Gotta Do Something
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Yeah, we gotta do something
Yeah, we gotta do something fast
Yeah, we gotta do something
If we want this world to last
Starvation, mountains made of wheat
World balance, this could not be
Some have pennies, others have pounds
Some have diamonds shining in their crowns
Fall apart, it's falling down
Do something, do it now
Do something, do something
Do, do-a-do-a-do something now
Yeah, we gotta do something
Yeah, we gotta do something fast
Yeah, we gotta do something
If we want this world to last
Destruction, bombs ready to drop
Whole world at war, it's got to stop
We gotta love to stay alive
We've got to pray that we all survive
Fall apart, it's falling down
Do something, do it now
Do something, do something
Do, do-a-do-a-do something now
Yeah, we gotta do something
Yeah, we gotta do something fast
Yeah, we gotta do something
If we want this world to last
Sacrificed our future, crucified our past
What are we gonna do, if we're gonna last?
Times are getting harder, harder by the day
Everybody help this world, everybody pray
Something for the rich, something for the poor
Something for the ones that ain't too sure
Something for the heart, something for the soul
I think a real leader better take control
Take these lads back to where they're at
Fulfill the plan of man, get back on the track
Cause we're being watched by the eyes above
Yeah, the eyes of love
Something for the free, something for the sorrow
Something for today so we see tomorrow
So much to be done, to be cleared
The rubble and trouble just seem to double each year
Bigger and bigger, getting worse
Building and building, about to burst
So do something before we're gone
And we're just a rock where a world went wrong
