I saw on the TV we're sellin' arms to the enemy
So he can blow us all down
While we charge with the cards in our hands
And men in power places are resigning
'Cause even in high seats the woman is still fighting with the man
And though I thought the time of the tough guy was just about over
Here comes another savior to stir the soldiers in the field
But what do the generals think about while the soldiers are dying?
'Cause the rallying cries don't reach 'em
And if they could feel, they'd say
What's gonna happen to us?
What's gonna happen to us?
Does your shrink say find out who you are
Before you try to become a part of me?
Ooh, I'd think you'd want to anyway
But she can't help you to live out a middle-class fantasy
But can she talk you into leavin'
When your heart tells you to stay?
Just when I thought the era of the guru was over
Here comes another savior to stir the soldiers in the field
But what does the teacher care about while the student is trying?
'Cause your crying mind don't reach her
And if she could feel, she'd say
What's gonna happen to us?
What's gonna happen to us?
What's gonna happen to us? Don't wanna know, babe
What's gonna happen to us?
Can we hold on to happiness?
Will we go down to sadness? Sadness

What's gonna happen to us?
What's gonna happen to us?
I wanna know, know, know, know baby, oh
Can we hold on to happiness?
Or will we go down in sadness?
Gonna happen to us
We're living in glory
It beats with a story
And we're our own source of retribution
All else is illusion
Can we hold on to our happiness?
Or will we go down in sadness?
Tell me what's gonna happen to us?
I wanna know now baby
