[00:00.16] 作词 : Da Boogie Man, Richie
[00:00.50]Think about it
[00:12.73]I don't understand what's goin' on
[00:14.17]
[00:15.42]I'm trying to figure out the world around me
[00:17.35]
[00:18.42]It seems we make the same mistakes over again
[00:20.41]
[00:21.53]An I can't understand why
[00:22.72]
[00:31.77]Tell me about it
[00:33.14]
[00:37.13]Why do we walk in the footsteps of our ancestors
[00:39.44]In a monotonous fashion
[00:40.38]
[00:41.19]Recreating the same failures and crimes of passion
[00:43.62]
[00:44.62]Help me understand our fascination with bloodshed and violence
[00:47.74]
[00:48.30]What happened to the notion of the evil days being behind us
[00:52.05]Are we too lost to find salvation or could it be
[00:55.11]We don't want salvation to find us
[00:57.04]Are we content with the changes that bind us
[00:58.16]
[00:59.47]We go on and on
[01:01.22]
[01:03.65]To the rhythm
[01:04.90]On and on
[01:06.03]
[01:09.21]To the rhythm
[01:10.21]We go on and on
[01:11.39]
[01:14.51]To the rhythm
[01:15.89]On and on
[01:16.82]
[01:17.88]There's something else on my mind
[01:19.32]
[01:20.88]Ain't it strange when we make change
[01:22.81]We end up with dollars and no sense
[01:25.00]Progress is a false pretense
[01:25.99]
[01:26.68]From and Cain & Abel to any ghetto
[01:29.05]Tiannemen Square to Soweto, apartheid to Jim Crowe
[01:31.55]
[01:32.92]Are these problems incurable
[01:34.04]
[01:34.73]We can charge stars invisible to the eye
[01:37.23]But we can't find the solution for oppression or learn
[01:40.16]If we can't live together we're all gonna die
[01:42.17]
[02:05.21]Hatred, racism, war, killing for sport
[02:07.51]
[02:08.76]Got to change the way we look at each other
[02:11.13]Abuse, rape, murder, neglecting the poor
[02:13.82]Look at the pain we're going through
[02:15.44]
[02:16.56]Selling our souls just to make a profit
[02:18.68]Respect yourselves my sisters and brothers
[02:20.68]
[02:21.99]Using addictions to deal with our problems
[02:24.30]It's up to you
[02:25.61]When we gonna stop it
[02:26.60]
[02:27.47]Generations come and generations go
[02:31.43]
[02:33.11]Time is the rhythm to which we all flow
[02:36.92]
[02:38.35]Help me to realize cause I don't understand
[02:42.10]
[02:43.10]Why does every generation have to do
[02:46.03]The same thing again and again
[02:47.95]
[03:10.58]We're not destined to lose it's about the paths we choose
[03:13.63]
[03:14.51]How long before we get it
[03:16.13]The value of which you get is measured in how much you're
[03:18.38]Willing to sacrifice
[03:19.44]
[03:20.31]Life's too short we can't waste a minute
[03:21.93]So how much is it worth to you to save your life
[03:24.12]And the lives of your children
[03:25.68]How much must we go through
[03:26.99]We have to change the words to the song before
[03:28.84]
[03:29.84]We can truly enjoy the rhythm
[03:32.17]
[03:55.34]Life beats
[03:56.65]360 degrees in a cycle to the rhythm
[03:58.72]
[03:59.46]Time beats
[04:01.02]
[04:02.15]Repeating things in a circular fashion to the rhythm
[04:05.08]Hearts beat
[04:06.51]
[04:09.20]To the rhythm
[04:10.45]Love beats
[04:11.88]
[04:14.63]To the rhythm
[04:15.81]What are we gonna do about it
[04:17.31]
[04:18.00]What are we gonna do about it
[04:19.56]
[04:20.37]To the rhythm
[04:20.99]
[04:21.75]Time we got ourselves together
[04:23.49]
[04:25.49]To the rhythm
[04:26.48]Cause we can't let hate beat to the rhythm
[04:29.10]
