What about sunrise?
What about rain?
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain?
What about killing fields?
Is there a time?
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine?
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before?
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying Earth, its' weeping shore?
Aah oh ooh
Ooh ooh
Aah oh ooh
Ooh ooh
What have we've done to the world?
Look what we've done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son?
What about flowering fields?
Is there a time?
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine?
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war?
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying Earth, its' weeping shore?
Aah oh ooh
Ooh ooh
Aah oh ooh
Ooh ooh
What about yesterday?
(What about us?)
What about the seas?
(What about us?)
The heavens are falling down
(What about us?)
I can't even breathe
(What about us?)
What about the elephants?
(What about us?)
Have we lost their trust?
(What about us?)
What about the crying whales
(What about us?)
Ravaging the seas?
(What about us?)
(Us?)
(What about us?)
(Us?)
I want to live like common people
I want to do whatever common people do
I want to sleep with common people
I want to sleep with common people like you
They didn't understand
They just smiled and held my hand
Aah oh ooh
Ooh ooh
Aah oh ooh (common people)
Ooh ooh (common people)
Aah oh ooh (common people)
Ooh ooh (common people)
Aah oh ooh (I want to live like common people)
Ooh ooh (I want do what common people do)
Aah oh ooh (I want to live like common people)
Ooh ooh (I want do what common people do)
