When You Gonna Learn (Digerido
Jamiroquai Lyrics

Have you heard the news today ?
Do you know what's happening in the world today?

People right across the world are pledging they will play the game
People all over the world are committing to making a change

Victims of a modern world, circumstance has brought us here
We are all victims of a modern world that has led to this moment

Armageddon's come too near, too too near yeah
Doomsday is quickly approaching

Now foresight is the key to save our children's destiny
We need to plan ahead to ensure a better future for the next generation

The consequences are so grave the hypocrites we are their slaves
The consequences of our actions are severe and we are slaves to the hypocrisy of our society

So my friend to stop the end on each other we depend
We need to depend on each other to prevent the end of the world

Mountain high and river deep, stop it going on
We need to stop the destruction of the environment, no matter the difficulty

We gotta wake this world up from its sleep
We need to raise awareness and take action to save the world

People, stop it going on
We need to come together to stop the destruction of the environment

Money's on the menu in my favorite restaurant
Money and profits are prioritized over conservation and protection of resources

Now don't talk about quantity, 'cause there's no fish left in the sea
We cannot continue to consume and exploit resources without consequence

Greedy men been killing all the life there ever was
The selfish actions of people have led to the destruction of ecosystems and extinction of countless species

So you better play it nature's way or she will take it all away
We need to respect and work with nature or it will cease to exist

And don't try tell me you know more than her about right or wrong
We cannot assume to know better than nature when it comes to what is right or wrong for the environment

Now you've upset the balance man, done the only thing you can
Through our actions, we have disrupted the delicate balance of nature and now face the consequences

Now my life is in your hands
The fate of the environment and future generations is in our hands

Greedy men will fade away, oh they will fade away when we stop it going on
Selfish people and their actions will come to an end when we stop the destruction of the environment

I know it's got to be that way, oh people stop it going on
We need to make changes and take action to save the environment

I'm asking, when you gonna learn to stop it going on
We need to learn from our mistakes and take action to stop the destruction of the environment
