John Mellencamp - J.M.'s Question lyrics

Virginia's in the bath house sayin', "Don't drink the water" And I'm already in the swimmin' pool The woman in the straw hat said, "The meat ain't worth eatin'" And sunbathin' here, baby, ain't so cool There's a hole in the ozone and the rats all got cancer From too much tartar and nicotine Well, what kind of world do we live in When the babysitter treats all the kids so mean No trespa**ing will blow your brains out Will do it with atomic bomb They're cuttin' down the rainforest and the food here's fattenin' And I hope there's no satanic message in this song But there's Live Aid and Farm Aid and all kind of hand grenades To help us all get along Well, what kind of world do we live in When everything we do turns out so wrong Well, what kind of world do we live in When eleven and seven equals two What kind of world do we live in When you do it to your buddy 'fore he does it to you Got to do it to your buddy 'fore he does it to you The preacher he hands out verse and scripture Just like he wrote it down himself Doctors and lawyers got a good thing going But that ain't no place to go if you need help There's too much sodium in my heartburn medicine And I think I need to lay down for awhile Well, what kind of world do we live in When everything we do we do with such style Well, what kind of world do we live in When eleven and seven equals two What kind of world do we live in When you do it to your buddy 'fore he does it to you Got to do it to your buddy 'fore he does it to you
