It's all around me and I just don't understand Seems all out of place now And I know it's late But you know what they say now We're under attack now Our work is all cut out Whatever happened to your rights? And I know it's late But you know what they say now So where's the writing on the wall Who's gonna save us? Who's gonna provide us? Who's gonna divide us? Who's gonna save us We're under powered now Trial devoured now Step aside and make way for the new leader And it's getting late But you know what the say now [Chorus] It's all around me and I just don't understand Seems all out of place now And I know it's late But you know what they say now [Chorus] Looking for the writing on the wall Who's gonna save us? Who's gonna provide us? Who's gonna divide us? Who's gonna save us?
