What's the Matter With Us? - Raffi

What’s the matter with us?

We’re so comfortable cozy

What’s the matter with us?

We’re so daydreamin' dozy

Why are we polluting our children?

There’s no future in that

Why put food in our poison?

There’s no future in that

Why do away with our woodlands?

Nothing to be gained from that

Why waste the best of our farmland?

Where’s the logic in that?

What’s the matter with us?

Oh, what’s the matter with us?

Why be warring each other?

There’s so much music to know

Why be fighting each other?

So much good food to enjoy

Why so afraid of another?

So many countries to know

Why so afraid of living when there’s

So much lovin' to do

What’s the matter with us?

I’m asking «Do you know?»

What’s the matter with us?

Uh huh

What’s the matter?

We out of control

Some are givin' up and even lost their souls

Killin' one another for a little piece of gold

And why homeboy?

Eh?

I don’t know

Some are givin' up on mankind

Sayin' that true love is hard to find

What’s the matter?

Hmm, I ask myself

I put mankind’s thoughts and pack them on the shelf

What’s the matter?

Tell me, please

I’m asking God, yeah I’m down on my knees

I’m tryin' to figure out why I’ve givin' up tryin'

What’s the matter, homeboy?

Can you tell me why?

What’s the matter with us?

Uh huh huh huh, what’s the matter with us?

Don’t raise a fuss, we need to come together, all of us

Yeah, what’s the matter with us?

Huh, we givin' up.

As some one say:

That’s what we’re comin' to

Uh, what’s the matter with us?

Yeah, I tellin' you homeboy, we can’t give it up, no way, Raffi!

What’s the matter with us?

Oh, what’s the matter with us?

You tell me, homeboy, so much has gone to waste

Reeking of disposable, mad situation all over the place

What’s the matter with us?

You know what I mean, it ain’t the same

It’s a different kinda scene

Yeah, what’s the matter with us?

We lost our minds, someone’s givin' up on mankind!

Oh, What’s the matter with us?

With us, with us.

With us, with us

What’s the matter, what’s the matter…

What’s the matter with us?

What’s the matter with us?

What’s the matter with us?
