Everybody wants the real thing no imitations

Everybody wants the same thing some tender love

Everybody on the rebound breaking up in two

Everybody going downtown I'm reaching out for you

Gotta wonder what the score is sure is a shame to me

Don't you see the little children begging but no one ever sees

In the middle of the night time ohh I I got to know

Hey You tell me what's been going on

Hey You tell me what's been going on

People living in the city don't know their fellow man

People living in the country don't buy no master plan

People sent in from Erasure to seek the promise land

Everybody wants their freedom but do they understand

Gotta wonder what the score is sure is a shame to me

Don't you see the lonely people we've been following to believe

In the middle of the night time Oh I I got to know

Hey you tell me what's been going on

This world our world what's been going on

Hey you tell me what's been going on

This world our world what's been going on

Hey you tell me what's been going on

Hey you tell me what's been going on

Hey you tell me what's been going on

This world our world what's been going on

Hey you going on

This world our world what's been going on
