(m. riperton - r. rudolph - m. henderson)      Hey there everybody, out there gettin down   Steppin with the fashions, throwin love around   You're hustlin for money, you playin' the big man's game   Going around in circles, you don't know where   Ah, you're smilin' through the pain      Oh, such a strange affair   Don't it blow your mind, mon cher   I ain't lyin', anything goes   You got to keep on tryin'   Everybody knows we got to turn it around      Cost of livin' risin'   Unemployment grows (I ain't got no job)   Wastin' our resources   Who's makes all the dough? (everybody but the po')   Politicians preachin   While color watchers are freakin'   Children needin' teachin'   While for the stars we're reachin'      Oh, such a strange affair   Don't it blow your mind, mon cher   I can't stand it, it don't need to be that way   I don't want it   Yeah, there's got to be a change   We got to turn it around
