Hey You

Everybody wants the real thing, no imitations
Everybody wants the same thing, some tender loving
Everybody's on the rebound, breaking up in two
Everybody's going downtown, I'm reaching out for you

Gotta wonder what the score is, sure is a shame to me
Don't you see the little children begging, but no one ever sees?
In the middle of the nighttime oh I, I got to know

Hey, you, tell me, what's been going on?
Hey, you, tell me, what's been going on?

People living in the city don't know their fellow man
People living in the country don't buy no master plan
People sent in from Erasure to seek the promise land
Everybody wants their freedom, but do they understand?

Gotta wonder what the score is, sure is a shame to me
Don't you see the lonely people, we've been following to believe
In the middle of the nighttime, oh I, I got to know

Hey, you, tell me, what's been going on?
This world, our world, what's been going on?
Tell me
Hey, you, tell me, what's been going on?
This world, our world, what's been going on?

(Oh-oh) hey, you, tell me, what's been going on?
Hey, you, tell me (tell me), what's been going on? (Going on)
Hey, you (hey you), tell me (won't you tell me?)
What's been going on? (What's going on, what's going on, what's going on?)
This world, our world (our world), what's been going on? (Our world, our world, hey you)

Hey, you, ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-ooh-ooh-ooh, going on
This world, our world (our world), what's been going on?
