Lyrics Howard Jones

Howard Jones

Where Are We Going?

Restraints were hoisted on at such an early age

Straps were tightened in the class

Scripts by the school sage

Putting out the spark

Left us in the dark

Possibilities shut right down

The cleaver of the uniform was handed down

Treated like a clown

Where are we going

Where are we going

What are we doing

What are we doing

Throwing it away like that

What are you doing

Throwing is away

All that potential

All that potential

Trickling away like that

We will refuse to be your clones or

Work in someone's scheme

Let a person find themselves not be part

Of a machine that worships power and wealth

We need our sanity

A day will come when everyone will have

Their due respect

Hate will no longer be a twisted form of love

Where are we going

What are we doing

Throwing it away like that

What are you doing

All that potential

Trickling away like that

Tell me where are we going

What are we doing

Throwing it away like that

What are you doing

All that potential

Trickling away like that
