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 yeah

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 (2x)
oh yeah-hey-yeah

oh yeah, the writing's on the wall
