The Writing On The Wall

In a world full of lies and confusion It seems that happiness is just an illusion The world is fallin' down around us Seems we're never gonna learn Doesn't anybody see the writing on the wall? Will you cry for this old country when it falls? When you're lookin' through tears They magnify the pain 'Cause we've watched it slip away again I've been thinkin' 'bout the past generations We're not the only ones who've had a few temptations Destruction then was just a sample Why can't we learn from their example? Doesn't anybody see the writing on the wall? Will you cry for this old country when it falls? When you're lookin' through tears They magnify the pain 'Cause we've watched it slip away again We've watched it slip away again Selfish thoughts degrade the values of a nation We can't evade the end by taking a vacation What would it take to make you listen What about those children that are missing Doesn't anybody see the writing on the wall? Will you cry for this old country when it falls? When you're lookin' through tears They magnify the pain 'Cause we've watched it slip away again We've watched it slip away again We've watched it slip away again We've watched it slip away again, oh-oh We've watched it slip away again, oh-oh We've watched it slip away Each and every day What you gonna say? We've watched it slip away, oh-oh We've watched it slip away again, oh-oh We've watched it slip away again, oh-oh
