Michael Jackson - Shout lyrics

This is not your ordinary record
Record, Re-re-record, re-re-re-cor-cor-cord
(Hit it)

Ignorance of people purchasing
Diamonds and necklaces
And barely able to keep the
Payments up on their lessons
And enrolled in a class and don't
Know who the professor is
How low people go for the dough
And make a mess of things?
Kids are murdering other kids for
The fun of it
Instead of using their mind or their fist
They put a gun in it

Wanna be a part of a clique
Don't know who's runnin' it
Tragedy on top of tragedy you
Know it's killin' me


So many people in agony
This shouldn't have to be
Too busy focusing on ourselves
And not His Majesty
There has to be some type of
Change for this day and age
We gotta rearrange and flip the page
Livin' encased like animals and cannibals
Eatin' each other alive just to
Survive the nine to five
Every single day is trouble while
We struggle and strive
Peace of mind's so hard to find

I wanna shout, throw my hands up and shout
What's this madness all about?
All this makes me wanna shout
You know it makes me wanna shout
Throw my hands up and shout
What's this madness all about?
All this makes me wanna shout, come on now

Problems, complications and accusations
Dividing the nations and races
Of empty faces, a war is taking place
No substitution for restitution
The only solution for peace
Is increasing the height of your spirituality
Masses of minds are shrouded, clouded visions
Deceptions and indecision, no
Faith or religion, how we're livin'
The clock is tickin', the end is comin'
There'll be no warnin'
But we live to see the dawn

How can we preach
When all we make this world to be
Is a living hell torturing our minds?
We all must unite, to turn darkness to light
And the love in our hearts will shine

We're disconnected from love
We're disrespectin' each other
Whatever happened to protectin' each other?
Poisoned your body and your soul
For a minute of pleasure
But the damage that you've done
Is gonna last forever
Babies being born in the world
Already drug addicted and afflicted
Family values are contradicted
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
The pressure is buildin' and I've had enough

I wanna shout, throw my hands up and shout
What's this madness all about?
All this makes me wanna shout
You know it makes me wanna shout
Throw my hands up and shout
What's this madness all about?
All this makes me wanna shout, come on now

Problems, complications and accusations
Dividing the nations and races
Of empty faces, a war is taking place
No substitution for restitution
The only solution for peace
Is increasing the height of your spirituality
Masses of minds are shrouded, clouded visions
Deceptions and indecision, no
Faith or religion, how we're living
The clock is ticking, the end is coming
There'll be no warning
But we live to see the dawn

I wanna shout, throw my hands up and shout
What's this madness all about?
All this makes me wanna shout
You know it makes me wanna shout
Throw my hands up and shout
What's this madness all about?
All this makes me wanna shout, come on now

Shout shout shout shout
Shout, throw my hands up and shout
What's this madness all about?
All this makes me wanna shout
You know it makes me wanna shout
Throw my hands up and shout
What's this madness all about?
All this makes me wanna shout, come on now
Shout
