In jeopardy, in jeopardy - I feel I'm about to cry In jeopardy, in jeopardy - oh, tell me the reason why In jeopardy, in jeopardy - I'm watching the feeling grow In jeopardy, in jeopardy - oh, tell me; I want to know In jeopardy, in jeopardy - the writing is on the wall In jeopardy, in jeopardy - I can't seem to sleep at all In jeopardy, in jeopardy - we utter a lonely cry In jeopardy, in jeopardy - who cares if we live or die? [Chorus:] Who's in your mind, who's in your conscience? Part of the crime, part of the nonsense Do what we can, pray for tomorrow Living our lives, watching, waiting, feeling as much as we can In jeopardy, in jeopardy - so, where is the golden age? In jeopardy, in jeopardy - we're ready to turn the page In jeopardy, in jeopardy - it's getting so out of hand In jeopardy, in jeopardy - I wish I could understand [Chorus] Who's in your mind, who's in your conscience? Part of the crime, part of the nonsense Do what we can, pray for tomorrow Living our lives, watching, waiting, working, playing Singing, dancing, running as fast as we can
