Stop Right Now

The whole world has run amuck it seems
Between guns and drugs and sex disease
And that's, that's sorta sad.
Sorta sad to think of what we'd have
if we'd think with our brains and not with our ass
If we'd just use our hands to hug 'n hold and not hurt each other
This thing called honesty just seems so gosh darn hard to receive
We cough up phlegm yet swallow words that tell ya how we're doin'
It's bigger boobs and steroid dudes.  It's nose jobs, who's mod, false face fools
Rev. Sharpton's table turning.  Bush forgiving, Reagan earning
money selling arms to countries.
Ollie's heading North, to point a finger in the sky, folks we got bigger fish to fry.
A star could fall right through this hole hitting Santa where he sleeps.
We're blind to hunger, blind to pain, blind to animal extinction, acid rain
Yet everyone's seen Elvis seems like everywhere.
And every man that dies of AIDS well, "He was queer".  Hey, let's just stop right now!

Stop Right Now.   Stop Right Now
Our train of thought is on a track to ruin
Just Stop Right Now.  Stop Right Now
Stop what we're doing can't you see we'll all be losing
Stop Right Now, right here and now, let's just Stop Right Now
It's the beginning of the ends my friend right now, right here and now
Let's just Stop Right Now

Princess Di can't find no privacy, while the homeless cry, "Hey look at me!
Just tell me where to go with babe in arms."
Yet we got rocks from the moon that made the news. 
Millions of dollars for rocks from the moon.  Moon rocks cover Time magazine.
Moon rocks interviewed on Larry King. 
Moon rocks pampered in some museum & knuckleheads will pay bucks to see 'em
then come out on the street and flip a hungry kid a god damned dime
Can't eat a moon rock... Can't cure cancer with a moon rock...
Our kids will learn crap from a moon rock
Can't roll and smoke and sit around writing songs like mine taking on moon rocks
Just say "No" to moon rocks..  You ought to sat "No to moon rocks
NASA ought to stay home and take care of our own
      I hear our children crying out:

Stop Right Now.  Stop Right Now
Our train of thought is on a track to ruin
Just Stop Right Now.  Stop Right Now
Stop what we're doing can't you see we'll all be losing
Stop Right Now, right here and now, let's just Stop Right Now
It's the beginning of the ends my friend right now, right here and now
Let's just Stop Right Now

Spilling oil on Alaskan birds and seals when we really ought to be lubing our thinking wheels
Valdez boils down to more than one man in a bottle
Hip hippity hoppity hop a lot of rappers are off an their money-making slop
A homey's cool and the fools are cops and whites?
That sick sort of rap is killing unity.  Big budget tunes with no harmony
The only lesson learned is - the bridge is burned for King's Dream
We've shot our heroes then shoot movies about the mad men
Manson's on our T-shirts now and Butthead thinks that's cool
Christ comes out just for Christmas, Howard Stern is raved each morning
Now we don't shoot horses do we?

Let's just Stop Right Now (etc. etc. etc.)
