[Verse 1: Phil Collins]
While I'm sittin' here
Trying to think of things to say
Someone lies bleeding
In a field somewhere

[Chorus: Phil Collins]
So it would seem
We've still got a long, long way to go
I've seen all I wanna see today

[Verse 2: Phil Collins]
While I'm sittin' here
Trying to move you anyway I can
Someone's son lies dead
In a gutter somewhere

[Chorus: Phil Collins]
And it would seem
That we've still got a long, long way to go
I can't take it anymore

[Post-Chorus: Phil Collins]
Turn it off if you want to
Switch it off, it will go away
Turn it off if you want to
Switch it off or look away
[Verse 3: Phil Collins]
While we're sittin' and we talk and talk and we talk some more
Someone's loved one's heart
Stops beating in a street somewhere

[Chorus: Phil Collins]
So it would seem
We've still got a long, long way to go, I know
I've heard all I wanna hear today

[Post-Chorus: Phil Collins, Sting]
Turn it off if you want to (Turn it off if you want to)
Switch it off it will go away (Switch it off it will go away)
Turn it off if you want to (Turn it off if you want to)
Switch it off or look away (Switch it off or look away)

[Outro: Phil Collins]
Switch it off
Switch it off
Switch it off
Switch it off
Switch it off
Switch it off
Switch it off
Turn it off
