[Verse 1]
Well, you've got to shout if you've got something to say
I know it's getting bad, you read it every day
And you, you can try your best to fight it
But you won't make it on your own
Oh, someone better tell the people up there
I think they ought to know, the bubble's just about to burst
Tell them they'd better beware
The word is on the street, get up on your feet and shout out

[Verse 2]
The kids out there don't know how to react
The streets are getting tough and that's a matter of fact
And I, I can't take this any longer
But we can't make it on your own
Oh, the people out there find it hard to relate
They don't know how it feels to be standing there on your own
Believe me, it's never too late
It's time to make a move, get up on your feet and shout

[Chorus]
Stop, (Stop) look down
Everybody, you see what's going on around you
Stop, (Stop) look down
Everybody, you see what's going on around you
Stop, (Stop) look down
Everybody, you see what's going on around you
Stop, (Stop) look down
Everybody, you see what's going on around you
[Bridge]
Shout out, shout it out
Shout loud, oh
Shout out, shout it out
Shout loud
There are people who give and there are people who take
But I believe it's gonna get better
Realize what a difference you make
And don't turn away, hey, I'm talking to you!

[Verse 3]
So there's only the one solution
Stop and think what's going on
And you can draw your own conclusions
But you won't make it on your own
Oh, someone better tell the people up there
I think they ought to know, the bubble's just about to bust
Tell them they'd better beware
The word is on the street, get up on your feet, and shout

[Chorus]
Stop, (Stop) look down
Everybody, you see what's going on around you
Stop, (Stop) look down
Everybody, you see what's going on around you
Stop, (Stop) look down
Everybody, you see what's going on around you
Stop, (Stop) look down
Everybody, you see what's going on around you
[Outro]
Stop, (Stop) look down
Look down, what's going on around you
Stop, (Stop) look down
Look down…
