作词 : Da Boogie Man, Richie 作曲 : Lionel Richie & A. Rucker Think about it I don't understand what's goin' on
I'm trying to figure out the world around me
It seems we make the same mistakes over again
An I can't understand why
Tell me about it
Why do we walk in the footsteps of our ancestors In a monotonous fashion
Recreating the same failures and crimes of passion
Help me understand our fascination with bloodshed and violence
What happened to the notion of the evil days being behind us Are we too lost to find salvation or could it be We don't want salvation to find us Are we content with the changes that bind us
We go on and on
To the rhythm On and on
To the rhythm We go on and on
To the rhythm On and on
There's something else on my mind
Ain't it strange when we make change We end up with dollars and no sense Progress is a false pretense
From and Cain & Abel to any ghetto Tiannemen Square to Soweto, apartheid to Jim Crowe
Are these problems incurable
We can charge stars invisible to the eye But we can't find the solution for oppression or learn If we can't live together we're all gonna die
Hatred, racism, war, killing for sport
Got to change the way we look at each other Abuse, rape, murder, neglecting the poor Look at the pain we're going through
Selling our souls just to make a profit Respect yourselves my sisters and brothers
Using addictions to deal with our problems It's up to you When we gonna stop it
Generations come and generations go
Time is the rhythm to which we all flow
Help me to realize cause I don't understand
Why does every generation have to do The same thing again and again
We're not destined to lose it's about the paths we choose
How long before we get it The value of which you get is measured in how much you're Willing to sacrifice
Life's too short we can't waste a minute So how much is it worth to you to save your life And the lives of your children How much must we go through We have to change the words to the song before
We can truly enjoy the rhythm
Life beats 360 degrees in a cycle to the rhythm
Time beats
Repeating things in a circular fashion to the rhythm Hearts beat
To the rhythm Love beats
To the rhythm What are we gonna do about it
What are we gonna do about it
To the rhythm
Time we got ourselves together
To the rhythm Cause we can't let hate beat to the rhythm
To the rhythm Can't let lies beat To the rhythm
To the rhythm
Bloodshed no, no
To the rhythm
There's nothing new under the sun
Hold on to the good
To the rhythm
We're doin' the same things over and over and over
Hold on to the good 'and over and over'
Stop the madness
'and over and over again
