Where Are We Going? — Howard Jones

Restraints were hoisted on at such an early age Straps were tightened in the class Scripts by the school sage Putting out the spark Left us in the dark

Possibilities shut right down The cleaver of the uniform was handed down Treated like a clown

Where are we going Where are we going What are we doing What are we doing Throwing it away like that What are you doing Throwing is away All that potential All that potential Trickling away like that

We will refuse to be your clones or Work in someone's scheme Let a person find themselves not be part Of a machine that worships power and wealth We need our sanity A day will come when everyone will have Their due respect Hate will no longer be a twisted form of love

Where are we going What are we doing Throwing it away like that What are you doing All that potential Trickling away like that

Tell me where are we going What are we doing Throwing it away like that What are you doing All that potential Trickling away like that
