Teachers on strike, no more school today
They want more money but the board won't pay
 People 
Everybody's talkin' 'bout ecology
The air's so polluted that it's hard to breathe
 People 

Refrain
But that's what  makes   the   world   go   round 
The ups and downs a carousel
Changing  people's  heads around
 Go  underground young men...
 People   make   the   world   go   round ...

Old folks judge you by the clothes you wear
They'd swear you're a hippy if you have long hair
Young politicians fight for poverty
While  people  still cry for equality

Refrain
But that's what  makes   the   world   go   round 
The ups and downs a carousel
Changing  people's  heads around
 Go  underground young men...
 People   make   the   world   go   round ...

Refrain
But that's what  makes   the   world   go   round 
The ups and downs a carousel
Changing  people's  heads around
 Go  underground young men...
 People   make   the   world   go   round ...
