you gotta wonder

written by bob nyswonger


If you watch the news on TV
It's enough to make you sick
Think we need a new solution
Think we better find it quick
Cause we're in acceleration
And there ain't much time to think
Trigger finger is getting itchy 
Now they got us on the brink
They got us on the brink

So it better happen soon
From here to every distant shore
People everywhere refuse to take it anymore

I refuse to hate the Russians
And I ain't scared of the Chinese
Cause they're people just like we are
And they've got their families
They don't want their young men dying
For a piece of foreign ground
And they're tired of taking orders 
And being pushed around
Being pushed around

But it's gonna happen soon
From here to every distant shore
People everywhere refuse to take it anymore

How long - how long can we hesitate
How long - to communicate
How long - how long can we tolerate it?

You gotta wonder, you gotta wonder
You gotta wonder 

The world is shrinking day by day
Boundaries are obsolete
Still every man breaks his back to pay
And make some arsenal complete
How can we build more missiles
Instead of helping out the poor?
How can family men assemble
The machinery of war?
You gotta wonder

So it better happen soon
From here to every distant shore
People everywhere refuse to take it anymore
But it's gonna happen soon
From here to every distant shore
People everywhere refuse to take it anymore
But it's gonna happen soon
From here to every distant shore
People everywhere refuse to take it anymore
