Standard (EADGBE)

Children on the streets using guns and knives

Taking drugs and each other’s lives

Killing each other using knives and forks

 And calling each other names like dork

There’s people on the street getting diseases from monkeys

Yeah that’s what I said, their getting diseases from monkeys

Whys this happening, please, whose been touching these monkeys

Leave these poor sick monkeys alone

 There sick, they’ve got problems enough as it is

A man is lying on the street, some punk has chopped off his head

 And I’m the only one who stops to see if he’s dead,

Aaoohhh

 Turns out he’s dead

 That’s why I’m singing, Aaaaoooh what is wrong with the world today?

What’s wrong with the world today, *mumbling..........*

Uooo, what is wrong with the world today?

Think about it, think about it, think, think about it

Good cops get framed and put into a can

 And all the money that we’re making is going to the maaan

What man, whose the man, when’s a man a man, why’s it so hard to be a man

 Am I a man? Yes, technically, yes

Oohh, come on, sont zootka they’re turning kids into slaves

 They’re turning kids into slaves just to make cheaper sneakers

But what’s the real cost, ‘cause the sneakers don’t seem that much cheaper

Why are we still paying so much for sneakers when you got little kid slaves making them

What are your overheads?

 Well, at the end of your life, you are lucky if you die

Sometimes I wonder why I would even try. Why try?

I saw a man lying on the street half dead

He had knives and forks sticking out of his leg

 He said, Ahh ahh ahh ahhhhhhhhwww

Can somebody get the knife and fork out of my leg, please

Ooh, could somebody please remove these cutleries from my knees

Yeah yeeeahhh

This is where we break it down, this is where we break it down

We’ll break it down

What are they doing, their breaking it down

What do they do, and now their keeping it funky

Just having a funky jam and then we’re going to drop the beat

And then we’ll bring it back aaaooowahhhwahhhh

*Both go to town with the wailing*

Then we’ll take it low

Fading out, fading out

 We’re talking about the issues, but we’re keeping it funky

We’re fading out, we’re just fading out

Why they getting quiet, they’re just fading out

*monkey noises*

Stop touching that monkey
