Mama‘s in the kitchen takin‘ funky bread.
Papa‘s in the livin‘ room, the newspaper already read.
Baby lyin‘ in the bedpants down pissed on all his legs.
And I‘m still wondering if this world is already dead.

Tell me what‘s gonna happen to the world of today?!
Tell me what‘s gonna happen to the world of today?!
Tell me what‘s gonna happen today?

Brother‘s down in the pool room shootin‘ a game of pool.
Sister‘s out in the street corner tryin‘ to be so cool.
The dog is out in the front yard playin‘ with a ball.
I‘m not tryin‘ to hurt you, I‘m only tryin‘ to school you all.

Tell me what‘s gonna happen to the world of today?!
Tell me what‘s gonna happen to the world of today?!
Tell me what‘s gonna happen today?

The world is full of pollution and that‘s one thing I don‘t agree.
Can‘t you see it‘s just a batch of lies billy-round phylosophy?
Little children takin‘ pills or smoke a joint or two.
This world‘s become a mess ‘cause Mister Pull is doing it too.

Tell me what‘s gonna happen to the world of today?!
Tell me what‘s gonna happen to the world of today?!
Tell me what‘s gonna happen today?
