You've gotta shout if you've got something to say
I know it's getting bad, you read it every day
And you, you can try your best ot fight it
But you can't make it on your own

Someone better tell the people up there
Fm/Db
I think they ought to know,
Ab/Eb Eb Db
the bubble's just about to burst
Eb/Db
Tell them they'd better beware
Fm/Db Eb/Db Fm/Db
The word is on the street,
Ab/Eb Eb
get up on your feet, and shout out
The kids out there don't know how to react
The streets are getting tough
and that's a matter of fact
and I, I can't take it any longer
But we can't make it on our own
The people there find it hard to relate
They don't know how it feels
to be standing there on your own
Believe me, it's never too late
It's time to make a move, get up on your feet and shout
Fm Cm7
Stop, look down,
Bbm7 Ab Eb/G
everybody, do you see what's going on around you,
Bbm7 Cm7 Fm
Shout out, shout it out, shout loud
Shout out, shout it out, shout loud

There are people who give
Ab/Eb
and there are people who take
Eb/G Fm7
But I believe it's gonna get better
Ab Eb/G
Realize what a difference you make
Fm7
And don't turn away,
Eb Eb
Hey! I'm talking to you!
So there's only the one solution
Stop and think what's going on
You can draw your own conclusions
But we won't make it on our own
Someone better tell the people up there
I think they ought to know
The bubble's just about to burst
Tell them they'd better beware
The word is on the street
Get up on your feet and shout
Stop, look down, everybody
Do you see what's going on
Around you, stop...
