Listen
Somethin's goin wrong
Is it in the homes
Kids killin kids
Ain't nothing safe
They take guns to school
And break all the rules
It's a shame the way that we're livin
They're fighting in Bosnia
And starving in Sumaria
From free loving days
And now there is AIDS
Our values have changed (Oh, yes they've changed)
People acting strange (yeah)
You have to watch your back(ooh)
Babies born on crack, oh
(chorus)
The error of our ways
Can we correct the mistakes we've made
I hope it's not too late
God only knows our fate
The error of our ways
Let's hope for a better day
Somethin's got to change
Let us pray
Famlies accused of child abuse
You don't know who's tellin the truth
Society is like a sword
That needs killing that's for sure
Great forest are dying
People standing in Welfare lines

Ecology is unbalanced
It's a challenge
A strange situation
We lost a whole generation
The news on the air
Beware of the colors that you wear
The police are undefined (oh, yes they are)
Beware when you drive (or you might get jacked)
We gotta make a stand (oh, yes we do)
Cause things are out of hand
(chorus)
(Why) Are there so many guns
(Tell me why) So much death among the young
(Why) Oh tell me why
(Tell me why) It's not easy for you to see
(Why) Can't there be any peace
(Tell me why) Can't we undo all the wrong that we've done
(Why) Oh it's up to you and me
They're fighting in Bosnia
And starving in Sumaria
From free loving days
And now there is AIDS
Our values have changed (Oh)
People acting strange (yeah)
You have to watch your back (oh, yeah)
Babies born on crack
(chorus)(3x)
