[Intro: Wikki-wikki voice]
Ohh
Are you serious?
Careful, careful
We're gonna do a song with The Egyptian Lover
Say it ain't so, say it ain't so
That's my all time old school [?]
Can I do wikki-wikki-boom
Wikki-wikki-boom
You know like, wikki-wikki-boom
Oh, ok, y'all do y'all thing
Y'all do y'all thing
Newcleus and The Egyptian Lover
[Chorus: Backup singer]
No matter what we do, the world keeps turning, turning
No matter what we do, the world keeps turning, turning
Turning
[Verse 1: Egyptian Lover]
The more we thought we knew, the more we don't know what's goin' on
People hungry, homeless, sick and die while we play on our phones
Water's so polluted, we can no longer stand the taste
Government witholding knowledge about the nuclear waste
Climate change, global warming, ocean acidification
Overpopulation, financial crisis in every nation
We shop online for things that we don't need throughout the night
While a single mother struggles to feed her child and that ain't right
[Chorus: Backup singer & Vocoder voice]
No matter what we do, the world keeps turning, turning
No matter what we do, the world keeps turning, turning
Turning
No matter what we do, the world keeps turning and turning
No matter what we do, the world keeps turning
No matter what we do, the world keeps turning and turning
No matter what we do, the world keeps turning
[Verse 2: Cozmo D]
Time keeps on slippin', slippin'
None of us knows how much that we're given
Whether laid back, steady or driven
You need to be about this thing called livin'
Some of us take life for granted
And think it'll go just like they planned it
They get old before they understand that
Life is the part that happens despite the plan
So take a deep breath
And raise the love, forget the regrets
Take time to enjoy your life
Doin' the blessins, evade the strife
'Cause life don't last that long
A few trips around the sun and then it's gone
Don't be caught at the end
Wishin' you could just try it over again
[Interlude: Vocoder voice]
Resources depleted
Waste disposal at toxic levels
There's pollution in the air and the water
It is now possible, with the corrupt government
[Chorus: Vocoder voice]
No matter what we do, the world keeps turning, turning
No matter what we do, the world keeps turning, turning
No matter what we do, the world keeps turning and turning
No matter what we do, the world keeps turning
No matter what we do, the world keeps turning and turning
No matter what we do, the world keeps turning
No matter what we do, the world keeps turning and turning
No matter what we do, the world keeps turning
No matter what we do, the world keeps turning and turning
No matter what we do, the world keeps turning
[Outro: Backup singer]
No matter what we do, the world keeps turning, turning, turning
