What?s Going On

Verse I
Woke up this morning the sky was red
I heard some crying over my head
I went to listen see what?s going on
There?s people dying, building crashing down
Chorus I
What?s going on?
What?s going on?
What?s going on?
What?s going on?
Verse II
See a man trying to cross the street
Baby in arms, daughter at his feet
His wife?s behind him, no one?s slowing down
Trying to figure out what?s going on
Chorus II
What?s going on?
What?s going on?
What?s going on?
What?s going on?
Chorus III
What?s going on?
What?s going on?
What?s going on?
What?s going on?
What?s going on?
What?s going on?
What?s going on?
What?s going on?
