about

From the early 2000's, I finally got around to making a studio version of this song :)

lyrics

There's fighting and killing, and blood on the sands,
little babies dying in far away lands.
It's all going wrong, in the world today.

There's lying deceit and corruption, a lot of it close to home.
Politicians lining their pockets and it's not just them alone.
I said It's all going wrong, in the world today.
So do yourself a favor, you gotta turn off your TV,
we can all make a difference, even you and me.

And don't let the world, bring you down.
Just take a look around.

Now poor people are being cheated, and losing their possessions,
the wicked are getting richer, but you won't hear their confessions
cos' It's all going wrong, in the world today.
Now do yourself a favor, turn off your TV,
we can all make a difference, even you and me.

And don't let the world, bring you down.
Just take a look around.

Meanwhile Bush and his thugs up in Washington
don't have trouble with their dreams.
While black people are being left for dead way down in New Orleans.
It's all going wrong, in the world today.
And every night at the same time, I listen to the news.
They never got nothing good to say.
No wonder I've got them bad world blues.
You've gotta do yourself a favor, you gotta turn off your TV
we can all make a difference, even you and me.

And don't let the world, bring you down.
Just take a look around.

There's still some good to be found.
