What Goes On Lyrics - Midnight Oil

One thing's for sure 

That it's still the same 

That young folk die 

For some noble aim 

And they live so fast 

But they die so young 

And we just keep wondering 

What the hell went wrong 

Yeah, they live so fast 

But they die so young 

And we just keep wondering 

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 the wasted lives 

For nothing gained 

'Cause they die so fast 

And they die so young 

And we just keep wondering 

What goes on? 

What goes on? 

What goes on? 

What goes on? 

You tell me what goes on? 

What goes on? 

What goes on? 

You got a good thing before 

You got everything to live for 

Ain't nothing you want to die for 

No, no, nothing at all 

'Cause you live so fast 

But you die so young 

And we just keep wondering 

Wondering, wondering
