Lyrics Midnight Oil

Midnight Oil

What Goes On

One things for sure that it's still the same

That young folk die from some noble aim

And they live so fast and they die so young

And we just keep wondering what the hell went wrong

Cos they live so fast but they die so young

And we just keep wondering ... what goes on what goes on

It's such a shame such a useless shame

That they have to play such a hopeless game

And it makes me shake makes me shake with rage

For a wasted life for nothing gained

Cos they live so fast but they die so young

And we just keep wondering ... what goes on

You got everything to live for

We got everything to live for

Ain't nothing I want to die for no nothing at all

But they live so fast but they die so young

And we just keep wonderingone things for sure that it's still the same

That young folk die from some noble aim

And they live so fast and they die so young

And we just keep wondering what the hell went wrong

Cos they live so fast but they die so young

And we just keep wondering ... what goes on what goes on

It's such a shame such a useless shame

That they have to play such a hopeless game

And it makes me shake makes me shake with rage

For a wasted life for nothing gained

Cos they live so fast but they die so young

And we just keep wondering ... what goes on

You got everything to live for

We got everything to live for

Ain't nothing I want to die for no nothing at all

But they live so fast but they die so young

And we just keep wondering
