Interlude #1/I Don't Know

Oh Lord, I done done what you told me to do.
What's the message to the songs I'm singing?
Just done singing them, getting through.
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord,
I don't know what the world is coming to.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Said he got busted down by the TV.
This world order is in a state of confusion.
Lord, happiness is just an illusion.
Huh.
I don't know, darling, what the world is coming to.
My sisters and brothers are shooting each other,
So we're afraid to trust one another.
God went away, said he would return.
Don't get caught with your homework undone.
Ooh.
You get it later down the line.
Can't you see, boy, you're burning time.
One time, I thought you were a friend of mine.
But you got yours.
Now where is mine?
Hey, hey, hey.
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know.
Lord have mercy. (I don't know.)
So close sending images to her father.
They're shutting down jobs in the world,
'Cause all they want to do is make a dollar.
But let me tell you about me.
I can't stand to see lonely baby cry.
Ooh, baby, baby.
Turn and lose a dollar, it just might dry his eyes.
Ooh, baby now.
I knew there's something that's part of you.
Gotta whole lotta money (but just spend a few)
But, but, but we've got a shortage on.
But maybe a smile to another brother might find somebody home.
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know,
Oh, I don't know.
People trying to find the answer.
It's like trying to find out what caused a transfer.
I don't know, oh, I don't know.
People putting down each other's religions.
Run and take the rules living through, hold up witness to.
I don't know, I don't know.
