Ooh
Oh the world's situation should be rated X
Oh, rated X
Said, the world's situation should be rated X
Yeah (no-no, no, no, no) rated X
Listen people!

Not only in the movie shows
Take a look outside it's where the truth is really told
It's life (in living color) in living color
Fighting, killing and dope dealing, it's everywhere (it's everywhere)

What about the crime? (Rated X)
What about the killing, fighting, stealing everywhere?
They let the children see life destroyed
But they won't let them see its making
Oh what happened to God's creation?

The one thing that really bothers me the most
Is how we calmly take the lives of other folk
The world today is in a grave situation
Dirty water we can't drink, dirty air, it's so unfair!

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Baby something's missing all over the world
It's alright, it's ok
Woo, you and me baby can withstand
All the sin and corruption in this land
We got love
We got peace
If we could hold it, spread it all over the world

Oh, then the world's situation
Won't be rated X, rated X
Do you hear me?
When I preach all that I've learned
We'll have happiness and joy, it'll be oh, so sweet
And then we can jive in the master plan
We can walk together, side by side, hand in hand
Oh, love is still rated X
We all know is hate is all the way rated X

Woo, where's the love? Where's the peace?
Woo, where's the joy? Where's the hope for us all?
God is watching, He knows where you're at
Yes, he's watching the situation, that's a fact

Oh, the world's situation
Should be rated X
Woo, woo, woo-woo
Situation

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
