When You Gonna Learn

Yeah, yeah,
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 consequences are so grave,
So, so grave now.
The hypocrites, we are their slaves,
So my friends to stop the end,
On each other we depend.
Oh, we depend.

(Chorus)
    Mountain high and river deep,
    Stop it goin' on.
    We gotta wake this world up from its sleep,
    Oh, people,
    Stop it goin' on.

Yeah yeah,
Have you heard the news today?
Money's on the menu
In my favourite restaurant.
Well don't talk about quantity,
'Cause there's no fish left in the sea,
Greedy men been killing all the life there ever was.
And you'd better play it nature's way,
Or she will take it all away,
And don't try and tell me
You know more than her 'bout right from wrong.
Oh, you've upset the balance, man,
Done the only thing you can.
Now my life is in your hands.

(Chorus)
    Mountain high and river deep,
    Yeah, yeah,
    We've gotta stop it goin' on.
    We gotta wake this world up from its sleep,
    Oh, people,
    Stop it goin' on.

(Didgeridoo solo)

Ah-ha-ha-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-he-hey (x4, fading to b.v's)

(Extended chorus)
    Mountain high and river deep,
    Yeah,
    We gotta stop it goin' on.
    We gotta wake this world up from its sleep,
    Oh, people,
    Stop it goin' on.
    Greedy men will fade away, yeah, yeah, yeah,
    When we stop it goin' on.
    I know it's got to be that way,
    Oh people,
    Stop it goin' on.

(Coda)
(I'm asking)
Oh, when you gon' learn,
To stop it goin' on?
                         (x4)
