What Kind of World - Johnny Richter

OPENING CHORUS

What kind of world are we gunna leave for the next generation?

Look at the problems were facing and new ones that were creatin

Earthquakes, heat-waves, I’m just tryin to say.

(Uh Huh)

Man I’m just trying to say.

(Uh Huh)

What kind of world are we gunna leave for the next generation?

Look at the problems were facing and new ones that were creatin

No peace in the Middle-East, American troops in harm’s way

Man I’m just tryin to say

In the palm of our hand, we hold the key to open the door to relief

For our planet, going down like the Titanic

We need to unlock our minds, don’t matter who’s you got

We should all pray

Man I’m just tryin to say

Pay attention to the signs

The water stains on the wall

Major flooding, forest fires

Whatever happened to Fall?

Seasons change, it’s a shame, I’m just tryin to say.

(Can you hear me?)

Man I’m just tryin to say

What we gunna leave the youth of today, a couple wars?

Some nuclear wasteland?

I got a bad taste, somewhere ???

Conservation is a must, we need to listen to our mother and obey

I’m just tryin to say

Hurricanes are coming stronger and faster

There’s melting parts in Alaska

Every month, it’s like we have a new natural disaster

Cuttin' trees down, deforestation is not safe.

(No way)

Man I’m just tryin to say

Sun beams are beamin in and causing cancer on your skin

Summer’s getting hotter every year

Just look at recent trends

Polar ice caps are melt, even the polar bears pack up and move their way

Man I’m just trying to say

What’s it gunna be like in 50 years if nothing changes

Shifting of the plates rearrange the mountain ranges

California broke off and became the U. S's second out of state

I’m just tryin to say.

(Hey!!)

What kind of world are we gunna leave for the next generation?

Look at the problems were facing and new ones that were creatin

Earthquakes, heat-waves, I’m just tryin to say.

(Uh Huh)

Man I’m just trying to say.

(Uh Huh)

What kind of world are we gunna leave for the next generation?

Look at the problems were facing and new ones that were creatin

No peace in the Middle-East, American troops in harm’s way

Man I’m just tryin to say

We’ve had eight plus years of this madness

Colors poster, tell me how afraid to be

I think I’ll just sit back and see

Watch Homeland Security take all our freedoms and rights away.

(Fuck that!)

Man I’m just tryin to say

There’s bloodshed on the battlefield

Too many casualties

My cousin lost his life while he was sweepin the streets

For I.E.D (Improvised Explosive Device), he’s 19, man it seems like a dream

And so my family prays

Man I’m just tryin to say

How many kid’s we gunna recruit?

It’s like we put a price on life

Can’t drink a beer we guess we’ll teach him how to fight

And we’ll teach him how to kill

Come home and expect him to join society

I’m just trying to say

Who we really fightin anyways?

We got a war on terror, drugs, illegal aliens

Man it’s insane

We need to focus on what’s really a threat and take ya outta the game

Man I’m just tryin to say

BRIDGE

Fuck the politicians makin all the policies

Signing up on a mission from all the comfortable seas

It don’t make sense to me, but it makes dollars, war is a business, hey

I’m just tryin to say

Take a second, look around

Take a second, meditate

Do some soul searchin;

is this how you want a legacy?

As an American, I love the troops, but fuck the war games!!!

Man I’m just tryin to say

…Think about it

Hey!

Man I’m just trying to say

CLOSING CHORUS

What kind of world are we gunna leave for the next generation?

Look at the problems were facing and new ones that were creatin

Earthquakes, heat-waves, I’m just tryin to say.

(Uh Huh)

Man I’m just trying to say.

(Uh Huh)

What kind of world are we gunna leave for the next generation?

Look at the problems were facing and new ones that were creatin

No peace in the Middle-East, American troops in harm’s way

Man I’m just tryin to say

OUTRO
