Lyrics

CHORUS:

You are living in a 911 world — We are living in a 911 world!

1st VERSE:

Do you know what its like when your world breaks into fight?

Everywhere you turn nothing seems to be right.

Ain’t it sad … things get so bad — ain’t nuthin’ you can do.

So much for the hope it won’t happen to you.

CHORUS:

You are living in a 911 world — We are living in a 911 world!

2nd VERSE:

Everyone around you, you care for.

Some of them, they just don’t care about you.

You try to help, do your best for the good.

But things just don’t work out, the way that they should.

CHORUS:

When you’re living in a 911 world — We are living in a 911 world.

3rd VERSE:

Cameras here and there, cellphones everywhere … don’t cross the line!

People looking here, people talking there … they care about crime.

Don’t you know they … they’ll drop the dime!

They’ll take you away … you will be doing time!

CHORUS:

If you’re hittin’ in a 911 world — When you’re livin’ in a 911 world.

4th VERSE:

The enemy’s called “he,” navy ships are all “she” … what’s going on?

Have we twisted everything around?

Don’t you hate to hear the siren sound?

Oh, how the fear — the fear — brings us down!

CHORUS:

When you’re living in a 911 world — We are living in a 911 world!

REPEAT 1ST VERSE THEN FADE ON CHORUS TO END SONG.

CHORUS:

You are living in a 911 world — We are living in a 911 world!
