歌詞
[Verse 1]
5 a.m., rise and shine
To feed the baby before he starts to cry
No rest and time to play
Fifteen, the mother is a runaway
No time for dreams or goals
Pressure is so strong
Her body she has sold
So her child can eat
[PreChorus]
What is happenin' to the world we live in
In our home and other lands?
[Chorus]
Drugs and crime spreadin' on the street
People can't find enough to eat
Now our kids can't go out and play
That's the state of the world today
State of the world
Ooh, baby
Drugs and crime
[Verse 2]
Lil' Johnny, all alone
His only friend, the doll he carries with him
Goes to school each and everyday
To be teased because he has no place to stay
This young, homeless boy feels his life is worthless
Instead of suicide he cries himself to sleep
[PreChorus]
And it's happenin' to this world we live in
There's got to be a better way
Ooh-ooh
[Chorus]
Drugs and crime spreadin' on the street
People can't find enough to eat
Now our kids can't go out and play
That's the state of the world today
State of the world
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Woo
Today
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Woo
Nation
[Chorus]
Today
Today
Drugs and crime spreadin' today
Drugs and crime
Drugs and crime spreadin' today
Today
Drugs and crime
Today
[Bridge]
Can't give up hope now
Let's weather the storm to-together
[Chorus]
Drugs and crime spreadin' on the street
People can't find enough to eat
Now our kids can't go out and play
That's the state of the world today
[Chorus]
Drugs and crime spreadin' on the street
People can't find enough to eat
Now our kids can't go out and play
That's the state of the world today
[Outro]
Drugs and crime spreadin' on the streets
Spreadin' on the streets
People can't find enough to eat
Stop it people
Now our kids can't go out and play
They can't even walk the streets
That's the state of the world today
State of the world today
Hey, hey, hey
Today
Drugs and crime
Drugs and crime
Drugs and crime
Drugs and crime
Drugs and crime
That's the state of the world today
Drugs and crime
That's the state
That's the state of the world today
Drugs and crime
Drugs and crime
Today
Drugs and crime spreadin' on the street
