Lyrics
Before the Music Ends
I hope everybody partied down
I don't want to bring nobody down
But the very next sound is made for your head
I'm so sorry for your feet
But let's take a look around the world
The starving babies of the pregnant girls
Ah, now would you believe their education's achieved
On the cracked up street
CHORUS: Well, I hope I got your attention
Because it's all I had to mention
Just one time
Before the music ends
Did everybody get enough to eat
Well, let's settle down and watch TV
Does the news that you see make you feel uneasy
In your easy chair
Gang banging on channel 5
Cops and robbers on channel 9
Well, at least in my mind the greatest crime
Is that not many care
CHORUS: Well, I hope I got your attention
Because it's all I had to mention
Just one time
Before the music ends
Tired of hearing about the misery
Well, take a vacation by the sea
Maybe drown out the sounds of people being gunned down
For daring to be free
From the east comes the latest word
Genocide is so absurd
Only thing I can tell is this is 'bout close to hell
As I'd wanna be
CHORUS: Lord, I hope I got their attention
Because it's all I had to mention
Just one time
Before the music ends
