Have you heard the news today?
People right across the world,
Are pledging they will play the game,
Victims of a modern world,
Circumstance has brought us here,
Armageddon's come too near,
Too, too near,
Now foresight is the only key
To save our children's destiny,
The consequence are so grave
The hypocrites, we are their slaves.
So my friends to stop the end
On each other we depend,
Mountain high and river deep,
Stop it going on,
We gotta wake this world up from its sleep.
People, stop it going on
Have you heard the news today?
Money's on the menu
In my favourite restaurant,
Now don't talk about quantity,
There's no fish left in the sea.
Greedy men been killing
All the life there ever was,
So you'd better play it natures way,
Or she will take it all away,
Don't try and tell me
You know more than her about right from wrong,
Now you've upset the balance, man,
Done the only thing you can,
Now my life is in your hands
Mountain high and river deep.
Stop it going on,
We gotta wake this world up from its sleep,
People, stop it going on
Mountain high and river deep.
Stop it going on,
We gotta wake this world up from its sleep,
People, stop it going on
Greedy men will fade away,
When we stop it going on,
I know it's got to be that way,
Oh people, stop it going on,
When you gonna learn to stop it going on?
