The Writing on the Wall Lyrics by Mark Farner

Just Another Injustice

0

In a world full of lies and confusion
It seems that happiness is just an illusion
The world is fallin' down around us
Seems we're never gonna learn
Doesn't anybody see the writing on the wall?
Will you cry for this old country when it falls?
When you're lookin' through tears
They magnify the pain
'Cause we've watched it slip away again
I've been thinkin' 'bout the past generations
We're not the only ones who've had a few temptations
Destruction then was just a sample
Why can't we learn from their example?
Doesn't anybody see the writing on the wall?
Will you cry for this old country when it falls?
When you're lookin' through tears
They magnify the pain
'Cause we've watched it slip away again
We've watched it slip away again
Selfish thoughts degrade the values of a nation
We can't evade the end by taking a vacation
What would it take to make you listen
What about those children that are missing
Doesn't anybody see the writing on the wall?
Will you cry for this old country when it falls?
When you're lookin' through tears
They magnify the pain
'Cause we've watched it slip away again
We've watched it slip away again
We've watched it slip away again
We've watched it slip away again, oh-oh
We've watched it slip away again, oh-oh
We've watched it slip away
Each and every day
What you gonna say?
We've watched it slip away, oh-oh
We've watched it slip away again, oh-oh
We've watched it slip away again, oh-oh
