Lyrics
What are we gonna do about it?
I wanna know what we're gonna do about it.
Have you ever thought of how you would live without it?
I wanna know what you're gonna do about it.
Would you rather cry in the sunshine?
Or shall we all laugh in the rain?
We plug our ears from the fears of the ones who shed the tears
But we are all crammed in the same boat
Hey he hey he
So many people think the world is their own world
But I'm sure they will soon be shown
Oh yes the rich and the poor they will moan
because they're having one hell of a life
and what we're all waiting for is a knock upon the door
then it will all be gone - Your own world
Hey he hey he
We're in the same boat in the same sea
Living the same life. We feel the same love yeh?
With the one heart - so we're in the same boat
Yes we're in the same boat - I can't say it enough
Are we gonna fade away? (Are wegonna just fade away?)
Come sail this boat together - I'll throw you a rope
Don't be afraid to be in this boat
