Lyrics What Kind of World - Johnny Richter

What kind of world are we gunna leave for the next generation?
Look at the problems were facing and new ones that were creatin.
Earthquakes, heat-waves, I'm just tryin to say. (Uh Huh)
Man I'm just trying to say. (Uh Huh)
What kind of world are we gunna leave for the next generation?
Look at the problems were facing and new ones that were creatin.
No peace in the Middle-East, American soldiers in harm's way.
Man I'm just tryin to say.

In the palm of our hand, we hold the key to open the door to relief
For our planet, going down like the Titanic
We need to unlock our minds, don't matter who's you got.
We should all pray.
Man I'm just tryin to say.
Pay attention to the signs,
The water stains on the wall,
Major flooding, forest fires.
Whatever happened to Fall?
Seasons change, it's a shame,
I'm just tryin to say. (Can you hear me?)
Man I'm just tryin to say.
What we gunna leave the youth of today, a couple wars?
Some nuclear wasteland?
I got a bad taste, somewhere???
Conservation is a must, we need to listen to our mother and obey.
I'm just tryin to say.
Hurricanes are coming stronger and faster,
There's melting parts in Alaska.
Every month, it's like we have a new natural disaster.
Cuttin' trees down, deforestation is not safe. (No way)
Man I'm just tryin to say.
Sun beams are beamin in and causing cancer on your skin,
Summer's getting hotter every year.
Just look at recent trends.
Polar ice caps are melt,
Even the polar bears pack up and move their way.
Man I'm just trying to say.
What's it gunna be like in 50 years if nothing changes,
Shifting of the plates rearrange the mountain ranges.
California broke off and became the U.S's second out of state.
I'm just tryin to say. (Hey!!)

What kind of world are we gunna leave for the next generation?
Look at the problems were facing and new ones that were creatin.
Earthquakes, heat-waves, I'm just tryin to say. (Uh Huh)
Man I'm just trying to say. (Uh Huh)
What kind of world are we gunna leave for the next generation?
Look at the problems were facing and new ones that were creatin.
No peace in the Middle-East, American soldiers in harm's way.
Man I'm just tryin to say.

We've had eight plus years of this madness,
Colors poster, tell me how afraid to be,
I think I'll just sit back and see,
Watch Homeland Security take all our
Freedoms and rights away. (Fuck that!)
Man I'm just tryin to say.
There's bloodshed on the battlefield,
Too many casualties.
My cousin lost his life while he was sweepin the streets.
For I.E.D(Improvised Explosive
Device), he's 19, man it seems like a dream.
And so my family prays
Man I'm just tryin to say
How many kid's we gunna recruit?
It's like we put a price on life,
Can't drink a beer we guess we'll teach him how to fight,
And we'll teach him how to kill,
Come home and expect him to join society.
I'm just trying to say.
Who we really fightin anyways?
We got a war on terror, drugs, illegal aliens,
Man it's insane.
We need to focus on what's really a threat and take ya outta the game,
Man I'm just tryin to say.

Fuck the politicians makin all the policies
Signing up on a mission from all the comfortable seas,
It don't make sense to me,
But it makes dollars, war is a business, hey,
I'm just tryin to say.

Take a second, look around.
Take a second, meditate.
Do some soul searchin; is this how you want a legacy?
As an American, I love the troops, but fuck the war games!!!
Man I'm just tryin to say.

...Think about it

Hey! Man I'm just trying to say.

What kind of world are we gunna leave for the next generation?
Look at the problems were facing and new ones that were creatin.
Earthquakes, heat-waves, I'm just tryin to say. (Uh Huh)
Man I'm just trying to say. (Uh Huh)
What kind of world are we gunna leave for the next generation?
Look at the problems were facing and new ones that were creatin.
No peace in the Middle-East, American soldiers in harm's way.
Man I'm just tryin to say.
