What's Going on Around Here? Lyrics

Martin Tielli

What's going on around here?
What's going on around here?
When things got strange, when things get rough,
I get tough. What's going on?

80 tons/20 pounds:
Makes no difference when you're down.
If you're too free, just call on me.
I'll chain you down.
What's going on?

I won't tell you about the mountains,
Because there's nothing that gets through you.
I won't tell you about these feelings,
Because there's nothing that doesn't offend you.
There's nothing that doesn't offend you.

Another murder... has come to town.
It was that wasted... infested clown;
His baggy suit, his turned up frown.
Another clown. What's going on?

I won't tell you about the mountains,
Because there's nothing that gets through you.
I won't tell you about these problems,
Because there's nothing that doesn't offend you.
There's nothing that doesn't offend you.
