Serious Times Serious Measures
[Intro:]
Mayday
Mayday Mayday
Woah yeah
Mayday
Mayday Mayday
Woah yeah
[Chorus:]
Serious times
Requires serious measures
Let's make an effort
To get together
Serious times
Requires serious measures
Let's put away the war and crime
And stop the displeasure
[Verse 1:]
Violence get so monotonous
Killing no longer surprise us
Suicide rate is ridiculous
Life is as cheap as dust
Children are being abused every day
Church deacon, some of them gone astray
Shallow graves found on the highway
The whole world in disarray
[Chorus:]
Serious times
Requires serious measures
Let's make an effort
To get together
Serious times
Requires serious measures
Let's put away the war and crime
It's life we should treasure
[Verse 2:]
Drive-by in the community
Thugs fighting for territory
Corruption in our society
Extortionist show no mercy
Too much police brutality
We need justice and equality
Overcrowded prisons that's insanity
Destroying morality
[Chorus:]
Serious times
Requires serious measures
Let's make an effort
To get together
Serious times
Requires serious measures
Let's put away the war and crime
It's love we should treasure
[Ad lib:]
Mayday
Mayday Mayday
Woah mayday
Mayday
Mayday Mayday
Oh yeah Mayday
[Chorus:]
Serious times
Requires serious measures
Let's make an effort
To get together
Serious times
Requires serious measures
Let's put an end to war and crime
And stop the displeasure
[Verse 3:]
Middle East crisis escalate
Suicide bombers, troubled state
Nuclears ready to detonate
And big heads evacuate
Father help us we're in doubt
World leaders can't work it out
Will this be the end of the human race?
That would be a disgrace
[Chorus:]
Serious times
Requires serious measures
Let's make an effort
To get together
Serious times
Requires serious measures
Let's put away the war and crime
And stop the displeasure
[Chorus:]
Serious times
Requires serious measures
Let's make an effort
To get together
Serious times
Requires serious measures
Let's put away the war and crime
It's life we should treasure
[Ad lib:]
Mayday
Mayday Mayday
Woah Mayday, Lord
[Verse 1:]
Violence get so monotonous
Killing no longer surprise us
Suicide rate is ridiculous
Life as cheap as dust
Children are being abused every day
Church leaders, some are gone astray
Shallow graves found on the highway
The whole world in disarray
[Chorus:]
Serious times
Requires serious measures...
