Strange Affair

(альбом: Love Lives Forever - 1980)

Hey there everybody, out there getting down
Stepping with the fashions, throwing love around
You're hustling for money, you playing the big man's game
Going around in circles, you don't know where
Ah, you're smiling through the pain

Oh, such a strange affair
Don't it blow your mind, mon cher
I ain't lying, anything goes
You got to keep on trying
Everybody knows we got to turn it around

Cost of living rising
Unemployment grows (I ain't got no job)
Wasting our resources
Who's makes all the dough? (Everybody but the po')
Politicians preaching
While color watchers are freaking
Children needing teaching
While for the stars we're reaching

Oh, such a strange affair
Don't it blow your mind, mon cher
I can't stand it, it don't need to be that way
I don't want it
Yeah, there's got to be a change
We got to turn it around
