The World Today - John Lee Hooker (约翰·李·胡克)/Canned Heat
I wonder why this world is the way it is
I wonder why this world is in uproar
Everyday you read about somethin' new
They're fightin' all over the world
People fightin' all over the world
Race against race they're fightin' everyday
I wonder when disaster comin' to a end
I wonder when I wonder when
This nightmare comin' to a end
I can't believe it's gonna last always
And every time I pick up a paper
I always read bad news
And every time I pick up a paper
I always read bad news
I wonder when this nightmare is gonna end
You find so many young people
They're fightnin' in every town on campus
You find so many young people
They're fightnin' in every town on campus
I don't know don't know what they're right or wrong
But they're kind of fightin' for their rights yeah yeah yeah
The old people leave the young kids alone
Let them run their own lives yeah yeah
The old folks leave the young kids alone
And let them run their own life
It's a brand new world today
Look at here now you'll find some of them old people
They're not hip to the modern days
They want their kids to live like they live
But no them days are gone
It's a brand new world
One way to solve their problem it takes time
The old coots die out and leave it to the young kids
Be a beautiful world and then
There won't be no fighting on campus any more
'Cause my kids and your kids when they grow up and get drunk
They'll understand all old coots are gone in their grave
But as long as they live there's gonna be fightin' in every town
Hey hey in every campus the young kids walkin' out
Hey hey hey hey the old folks when they're gone when they're gone
It'll be a better world to live in
