This Is What’s Happening Now Lyrics
[Intro]
La, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
[Verse 1]
Yesterday has come and gone, the world has changed
Time goes on (Time goes on)
Astronauts landing on the moon, kids growing up too soon
Listen, people
Planned Parenthood to keep the population down
(Have you taken your pill?)
Project buildings all around
Got to turn the world's eyes towards love, so hard
[Chorus]
This is what’s happening now
This is what's happening now
This is what's happening now
This is what’s happening now
This is what's happening now
This is what's happening now
[Verse 2]
Too many people on welfare, the politicians just don't care
(Can you dig it?)
When they're asked how do they feel
About cutting the budgеt down
They reply "Well, whatеver's fair"
Things don't make sense anymore
For evil just take war
Which man keeps getting fat
Why?
La, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
[Verse 1]
Yesterday has come and gone, the world has changed
Time goes on (Time goes on)
Astronauts landing on the moon, kids growing up too soon
Listen, people
Planned Parenthood to keep the population down
(Have you taken your pill?)
Project buildings all around
Got to turn the world's eyes towards love, so hard
[Chorus]
This is what’s happening now
This is what's happening now
This is what's happening now
This is what’s happening now
This is what's happening now
This is what's happening now
[Verse 2]
Too many people on welfare, the politicians just don't care
(Can you dig it?)
When they're asked how do they feel
About cutting the budgеt down
They reply "Well, whatеver's fair"
Things don't make sense anymore
For evil just take war
Which man keeps getting fat
Why?
[Chorus]
This is what's happening now
This is what’s happening now
This is what’s happening now
This is what's happening now
This is what’s happening now
This is what's happening now
La, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
[Verse 3]
Ooh, people if we all learn to look through eyes of love
(Look on, brother, look on, brother, look on)
There would be no greater pleasure to discover
For all mankind
I ne-n hope them good men
Come and take a bow
And join the movin' up, what's happening now
[Chorus]
This is what’s happening now
This is what's happening now
This is what's happening now
This is what's happening now (Y'all listen)
This is what's happening now
This is what's happening now, la (Yeah)
La-la-la-la, la-la-la (Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah)
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la (On him)
Ah
This is what's happening now
This is what’s happening now
This is what’s happening now
This is what's happening now
This is what’s happening now
This is what's happening now
La, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
[Verse 3]
Ooh, people if we all learn to look through eyes of love
(Look on, brother, look on, brother, look on)
There would be no greater pleasure to discover
For all mankind
I ne-n hope them good men
Come and take a bow
And join the movin' up, what's happening now
[Chorus]
This is what’s happening now
This is what's happening now
This is what's happening now
This is what's happening now (Y'all listen)
This is what's happening now
This is what's happening now, la (Yeah)
La-la-la-la, la-la-la (Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah)
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la (On him)
