Things Goin On - Pronounced Lĕh-nérd Skin-nérd by Lynyrd Skynyrd Lyrics

[Intro - guitars]
[Chorus]
Well have you ever lived down in the ghetto?
Have you ever felt that cold wind blow?
Well if you don't know what I mean
Won't' you stand up and scream?
Cause there are things going on that you don't know
-let it roll

[Solo]

[Verse 1]
Too many lives they've spent across the ocean
Too much money they've spent upon the moon
Well until they make it right
I hope they never sleep at night
They better make some changes and do it soon – do it now – do it good

[Solo]

[Verse 2]
Well they're gonna ruin the air that we breathe
Lord have mercy
They're gonna ruin us all, by and by
I'm telling all you beware
I don't think they really care
I think they just sit up there
And just get high
[Piano solo before last Chorus]

[Chorus]
Well have you ever lived down in that ghetto?
Have you ever felt that cold wind blow?
Well if you don't know what I mean
Won't' you stand up and scream?
Cause there are things going on that you don't know
Well if you don't know what I mean
Won't you stand up and scream?
Cause there are things going on you don't know

-tell it
-tell it, tell it

[Solo]
