Lyrics

Something in the World Today

There's something in the street tonight

Don't know what it is but it won't keep quiet

Breaking through your masses on your radio broadcaster

There's something in the air tonight

And it's turning in to a full-fledged riot

City boy, last dance, someone tried to buy him the truth

All, all, all, all, all, nine lives

All gonna come right back for you

All, all, all, all, all, nine lives

All gonna come right back for you

There's something in the world today

I don't know what it is but it sure smells rotten

Babylon's burning and the fire seems waterproof

There's someone in your home tonight

You think you know who they are but something just ain't so right

I look at them a way but they don't feel the same about me

All, all, all, all, all, nine lives

All gonna come right back for you

All, all, all, all, all, nine lives

All gonna come right back for you

And I run and I run and I ride and I ride

And I live and I live and I die and I die

And I know it was all for you and me

And I run and I run and I ride and I ride

And I live and I live and I die and I die

And I know it was all for you and me

And I run and I run and I ride and I ride

And I live and I live and I die and I die

And I know it was all for you and me

And I run and I run and I ride and I ride

And I live and I live and I die and I die

And I know it was all for you and me
