Why are we going on this way? Nothing's gonna break it down and build us back again So why do go back that could leave this way? Black is the soul that's led astray You're leading me to places I can never follow Just give me back my life As it all falls

So much trouble in the world So much trouble in the world Bless my eyes this morning Jah sun is on the rise once again The way earthly things are going Anything can happen You see men sailing on their ego trips Blast off on their spaceships Million miles

I believe things are going wrong, And the night goes on and on, All your dreams have flown away, And the sun won't shine today The lights go down, One day,I gotta get out of here, I gotta make everything clear I gotta see you.

Meet Eddie, twenty-three years old Fed up with life and the way things are going He decides to rob a liquor store (I can't take this no more, I can't take it no more homes) But on his way in, he has a sudden change of heart And suddenly, his conscience

The way things are going They're going to crucify me Christ you know it ain't easy You know how hard it can be The newspapers said Standing in the dock at Southampton Trying to get to Holland or France The man in the mac said You've got to go back

Who'd believe with the way things are here We'd be going anywhere telling people how to live? Who's believe we'd spend more shippin' drugs and guns Than to educate our sons? Sorry but that's what they did I can't help but think, Someone's forsaken you
