Interlude n°1 / I Don't Know (What's The Word Coming To) Songtext
von Bobby Womack

Oh, Lord I done done
What You told me to do
But the message of songs that I′m singin'
Just don′t seem to be getting through

Oh, Lord oh, Lord
Oh, Lord oh, Lord
I don't know what the world is comin' to
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

This world, always in a state of confusion
No happiness, it′s just an illusion
I don′t know darling
What the world is comin' to yeah
My sisters and brothers excusin′ each other
So we're afraid to trust another

God went away
Said He win the try
Hey, don′t be caught with your homework undone


You get it later
Down the line
Can't you see boy?
You′re burnin' time
One time I thought you were a
Friend of mine
But you get yours, now where is mine?

Wait, wait, wait
I don't know
I don′t know, I don′t know
I don't know
Boy, how messy?
So claw minutes, selling images
Two out of four now

They′re sinkin' them
Down in the world
′Cause all I really wanna do is think about it
And let me tell you about me
I can't stand to hear a phony baby cry
Ooh, baby
If you′re tryin' to lose a dollar
You just might try his odds
Whoa, baby now


I know there's something
That′s part of you
Got a whole lotta money
But you spend a few
But, but, but
We′ve got a shortage on
But maybe you smile to another brother
Might find somebody home

I don't know
I don′t know, oh
I don't know (yeah)
People tryin′ to find an answer
People tryin' to find out what causes cancer
I don′t know

Nor depression, ay
People ignore eachother's religion
I don't know (running through the roof) I don′t know
Living proof (I don′t know) you're holding witness too
I don′t know (I don't know, I don′t know...)
