Think about it
I dont understand whats goin on
Im trying to figure out the world around me
It seems we make the same mistakes over again
An I cant understand why.
Tell me about it

Why do we walk in the footsteps of our ancestors
In a monotonous fashion
Recreating the same failures and crimes of passion
Help me understand our fascination with bloodshed and violence
What happened to the notion of the evil days being behind us
Are we too lost to find salvation or could it be
We dont want salvation to find us
Are we content with the changes that bind us

We go on and on
To the rhythm
On and on
To the rhythm
We go on and on
To the rhythm
On and on



Theres something else on my mind

Aint it strange when we make change
We end up with dollars and no sense
Progress is a false pretense
From and Cain & Abel to any ghetto
Tiannemen Square to Soweto, apartheid to Jim Crowe
Are these problems incurable
We can charge stars invisible to the eye
But we cant find the solution for oppression or learn
If we cant live together were all gonna die

We go on and on
To the rhythm
On and on
To the rhythm
We go on and on
To the rhythm
On and on

Hatred, racism, war, killing for sport
Got to change the way we look at each other
Abuse, rape, murder, neglecting the poor
Look at the pain were going through
Selling our souls just to make a profit
Respect yourselves my sisters and brothers
Using addictions to deal with our problems
Its up to you
When we gonna stop it



Generations come and generations go
Time is the rhythm to which we all flow
Help me to realize cause I dont understand
Why does every generation have to do
The same thing again and again

We go on and on
To the rhythm
On and on
To the rhythm
We go on and on
To the rhythm
On and on

Were not destined to lose: its about the paths we choose
How long before we get it
The value of which you get is measured in how much youre
Willing to sacrifice
Lifes too short we cant waste a minute
So how much is it worth to you to save your life
And the lives of your children
How much must we go through
We have to change the words to the song before
We can truly enjoy the rhythm
Its up to you, Its up to you

We go on and on
To the rhythm
On and on
To the rhythm
We go on and on
To the rhythm
On and on



Life beats
360 degrees in a cycle to the rhythm
Time beats
Repeating things in a circular fashion to the rhythm
Hearts beat
To the rhythm
Love beats
To the rhythm
What are we gonna do about it
What are we gonna do about it
To the rhythm

Time we got ourselves together
To the rhythm
Cause we cant let hate beat to the rhythm
To the rhythm
Cant let lies beat
To the rhythm
To the rhythm
Bloodshed no, no
To the rhythm
Theres nothing new under the sun
Hold on to the good
To the rhythm
Were doin the same things over and over and over
Hold on to the good
and over and over
Stop the madness
and over and over again
