Chorus:
         E
Have you ever lived down in the ghetto?
                                   B
Have you ever felt the cold wind blow?
        E
If you don't know what I mean,
            A
Won't you stand up and scream?
                 E          B                   E
'Cause there's things goin' on that you don't know.

          E
Too many lives they've spent across the ocean.
                                    B
Too much money been spent upon the moon.
         E
Well, until they make it right
             A
I hope they never sleep at night
             E          B
They better make some changes
           E
And do it soon.

Well they're going ruin the air that we breathe
Lord have mercy
They're gonna ruin us all, by and by
I'm telling all you beware
I don't think they really care
I think they just sit up there
And just get high

Chorus:
Have you ever lived down in that ghetto
And have you ever felt that cold wind blow
Well if you don't know what I mean
Won't you stand up and scream
'Cause there's things going on that you don't know.

Well if you don't know what I mean
Won't you stand up and scream
'Cause there's things going on that you don't know

Tell it
Tell it, tell it
Things going on
