Chorus:
Yes I do know this ain’t the way for us to live. You must be crazy
Yes I do know, its got to get better than this, yes it does, yes it does, yes it does, it do
Yes I do know this ain’t the way to live, oooh no it ain’t nah
Yes I do know, we’ve got to work for better than this, now what cha gone do
Vocoder:
Dark Star’s on the scene for all to see, yeah yea yea yea
EC’s on the scene you’d better be, on yo wayyy up
Dark Star’s on the scene for all to see, yeah yea yea yea
TC’s on the scene we’ve got to be
VERSE 1
Now look through the trickery, and check it out- it’s moving all about
Around and around in a circles forever we go- so it seems
We’ve been in witness, protection, for 400 hundred years, here and there
But today our future, got shot up in a drive by
Now we’re living in fear
Chorus:
Yes I do know this aint the way for us to live. You must be crazy
Yes I do know, its got to get better than this, yes it does, yes it does, yes it does, it do
Yes I do know this ain’t the way to live, oooh no it ain’t nah
Yes I do know, we’ve got to work for better than this, now what cha gone do
VERSE 2
Now when you look in the mirror, what do you see- I wanna know somebody tell me
Cause our reality is reading like an obituary- somebody shout on the one!
I don’t know what (ooh), you don’t know what (ooh)
I don’t know where (ooh), you don’t know where
And everything that’s been, doesn’t have to be
Lets fight for our babies to live free
(Chours) & Vocoder:
Dark Star’s on the scene for all to see, yeah yea yea yea
EC’s on the scene you’d better be, on yo wayyy up
Dark Star’s on the scene for all to see, yeah yea yea yea
TC’s on the scene we’ve got to be
(Guitar solo)
(Chorus)
