Seems like everybody?s got a problem 
No one knows how 
But, we all want to solve ?em 
You could give a dime 
Give a hand 
Or give a shit 
Or could look away and never deal with it 
 For example 
This girl is pretty fly for a white gal 
All the guys want her even though she?s a juvenite 
She?s really kinda sad and just don?t care 
?Cause the only one she wants is her best friend Claire 
 What?s going on? 
What?s going on? 
Ready or not - NOT 
The world moves on and on and on 
Yo, what?s going on? 
 There?s nothing much to me 
I?m simple like you are, ordinary 
My tired eyes can see 
That time may fly 
And what?s left is 
Meant to be 
I?m looking out 
You?re looking in 
It?s taken more then time 
To erase the stain 
And it?s never been the same 
 Any city 
A girl turns 17, goes to a party 
She and he best friend are drinking bacardi 
Ever since she walked through the door 
All the guys have been scoping and flexing tryin? to score 
But she?s a good girl 
So she won?t have none of that 
She takes another sip 
But has no clue of the spike from the G to the H to the B 
She wakes up in the morning 
bruised and raped in the street 
 What?s going on? 
What?s going on? 
Ready or not - NOT 
The world moves on and on and on 
Yo, what?s going on? 
 [Pre-chorus] 
[Chorus] 
 Your town 
A kid that you know goes to school 
He?s really kinda shy and not that cool 
He knows what it?s like to look in from the outside 
Inside, he just wants someone to confide 
But everyone?s busy and no one?s got the time 
He takes his dad?s gun and says 
?This is how I?ll shine? 
Boom, boom, boom 
And the kids fall down 
On the ground 
Dumbfound (dumbfound) 
 What?s going on? 
What?s going on? 
Ready or not - NOT 
The world moves on and on and on 
Yo, what?s going on? 
 [Pre-chorus] 
[Chorus]
