The World Is Rated X Songtext
von Marvin Gaye

Oh, the world′s situation should be rated X, oh, rated X
Said the world's situation should be rated X, yeah, rated X

Listen people
Not only in the movie show
Take a look outside, it′s where the truth is really told
It's life in living colour
Fighting, killing and dope dealing
It's everywhere

What about the crime, rated X
What about the killing, fighting, stealing everywhere?
They let the children see life destroyed
But they won′t let them see its making
What happened to God′s creation?

The one thing that really bothers me the most
Is how we commentate the lives of other folk
The world today is in a grave situation
Dirty water we can't drink, dirty air, it′s so unfair


Oh, I know something is missing all over the world

Woo, rated X
Woo, rated X
Woo, rated X
I know something is missing all over the world

The world's situation should be rated X, rated X
Oh, the world′s situation should be rated X, oh, rated X
What about the crime, rated X
What about the air, rated X
What about the killing, fighting, stealing everywhere?

Then the children see life destroyed
But they don't let them see its making
What happened to God′s creation?
Where's the love, where's the peace?
Where′s the joy, where′s the hope for us all?

Love is kneelin', rated X
Hate is overweight, rated X
The world′s situation should be rated X, oh lord rated X
