Lyrics
What's Going Down?
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.
Standing face to face but never seeing eye to eye
Excuses dressed as arguments but never justified
New Britannia setting sail for deep and troubled water
Mr. President expects each man to follow orders
Isn't it time we turned our heads around round round?
To see what's going down
Isn't it time we turned our heads around round round
To see what's going down
Rolling on we're on the back foot spelling out the future
Children built in moral states in dark and dreamy slumber
Focus on ? ? with riches growing longer
Captain Freedom's looking rough, his days are surely numbered
Isn't it time we turned our heads around round round
To see what's going down?
Isn't it time we turned our heads around round round
To see what's going down?
Isn't it time we turned our heads around round round
To see what's going down?
