Don't think it's right
Don't think it's right
Don't think it's right
Shoulder the blame
For a world that gone insane
Taste a bitter rain
Picture the mood
And raving madness
Easy fall, victims will call
Don't think it's right
Don't think it's right
We mustn't upset
The natural order of things
For the sake of you and I
For the sake of human lives
Don't think it's right
Don't think it's right
Don't think it's right
Don't think it's right
With all these previous warnings
I won't sit and wait
I will hope for a peaceful change
We shouldn't upset
The natural order of things
For the sake of you and I
For the sake of human lives
We shouldn't upset
The natural order of things
For the sake of you and I
The sake of human lives
We shouldn't upset
The natural order of things
For the sake of human lives
For the sake of you and I
Don't think it's right
Don't think it's right

We can't afford it
We can't avoid it
We can't afford it
We can't avoid it
Don't think it's right
Don't think it's right
Don't think it's right
Don't think it's right
Can't afford it
We can't avoid it
