We're in a world of trouble, now isn't that a shame,
Go down to the city now people, 'cause the streets are all in flames.
You know what I've been sayin', you didn't hear the wake up call, oh no,
There ain't no doubt about it, well the writing's on the wall.
The world is in confusion, we don't know which way to turn,
Things are gettin' so bad, I wonder will we ever learn?
You know what I've been sayin', you didn't hear the wake up call, oh no,
There ain't no doubt about, well the writing's on the wall, oh yea.
{Rod - Slide Solo}
You know what I've been sayin', you didn't hear the wake up call, oh no,
And there ain't no doubt about it, well the writing's on the wall.
What can we do about it, well the writing's on the wall,
What can we do about it, well the writing's on the wall, oh yea-hey-yea.
Oh yeah! The writing's on the wall...
