Al Stewart - Modern Times

What's Going On?

First time I saw you, you were Mr. Natural
You seemed so diffident, you hardly spoke at all
Now you come to me and you've got green streaks in your hair
You walk like Greta Garbo, but you talk like Yogi Bear

So tell me now
What's going on? What's going on?
I really don't believe
What's going on? What's going on?

Anyone in the farmhouse could have given you the news
You think you're in control but you're only being used
I know your head is in the sky, you're easy to deceive
But how you fell for this I really don't believe

So tell me now
What's going on? What's going on?
I really don't believe
What's going on? What's going on?

All those rock 'n' roll star heroes you spend your time around
You may think you're one of them but you're a hundred thousand down
What are you going to do when the company calls its money in?
How'll you feel stuck out in the rain without a friend?

What's going on? What's going on?
I really don't believe
What's going on? What's going on?
