Michael Jackson - Shout lyrics

SHOUT

Verse

Ignorance of people purchasing diamonds and necklaces,

And barely able to keep the payments up on their lessons,

And enrolled in a class and don?t know who the professor is,

How low people go for the dough and make a mess of things,

Kids are murdering other kids for the fun of it,

Instead of using their mind or their fist, they put a gun in it

Wanna be a part of a clique, don?t know who?s running it,

Tragedy on top of tragedy you know it?s killing me.

So many people in agony, this shouldn?t have to be,

Too busy focusing on ourselves and not His Majesty,

There has to be some type of change for this day and age,

We gotta rearrange and flip the page,

Living encaged like animals and cannibals,

Eating each other alive just to survive the nine to five,

Every single day is trouble while we struggle and strive

Peace of mind?s so hard to find.

Chorus

I wanna shout, throw my hands up and shout

What?s this madness all about

All this makes me wanna shout

You know it makes me wanna shout,

Throw my hands up and shout

What?s this madness all about

All this makes me wanna shout, c?mon now

Verse 2

Problems, complications and accusations

Dividing the nations and races of empty faces

A war is taking place.

No substitution for restitution, the only solution for peace

Is increasing the height of your spirituality.

Masses of minds are shrouded, clouded visions

Deceptions and indecision, no faith or religion, how we?re living.

The clock is ticking, the end is coming, there?ll be no warning,

But we live to see the dawn.

Bridge

How can we preach, when all we make this world to be

Is a living hell torturing our minds.

We all must unite, to turn darkness to light,

And the love in our hearts will shine.

Verse 3

We?re disconnected from love, we?re disrespecting each other

Whatever happened to protecting each other

Poisoned your body and your soul for a minute of pleasure,

But the damage that you?ve done is gonna last forever.

Babies being born in the world already drug addicted and afflicted,

Family values are contradicted.

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust, the pressure is building and I?ve had enough.

Chorus...
