What`s It All Supposed To Mean? Lyrics


Tell me what's happening to this world

I've just seen pictures of a girl

Lying half-naked in a stream

She was so fall of life

Yet in one moment killed by a knife

Will somebody tell me

What's it all supposed to mean?



Sign on the door says go away

Sign on the grass says you will pay

Dearly if on it you are seen

Ask your neighbour's the time They'll close their curtains pull down the
blinds

Will somebody tell me

What's it all supposed to mean?



You can say what you like

About a bike it does ring a bell at least

Why provide cars that break every law we make

Not the least of which is the speed they can exceed

You can say what you like

About goodbyes

They boost tissue sales at least

I don't know anyone whose love has gone

Who does not require a multitude of these



A clip round the ear it must be said

Never hurt anyone instead

Taught you a lesson you'd not seen

And yet do that today

You could so easily be put in jail

Will somebody tell me

What's it all supposed to mean?
