Gather 'round folks I have a question
It's been weighin' on my mind
I wanna know who's responsible
Tellin' these stars not to shine

Doctor doctor can you help me?
'Cause I think I've gone blind
He just says "Don't you worry
Just part of the times"

'Cause that westward wind's still blowin'
And that sun still rises in the East
Yeah that big fireball is still a-burnin'
Mama mama, who keeps the world turnin'?

Is it money, or is it fire
Or is it something I can't see?
Maybe I just think too much
And it's just the gravity

'Cause that westward wind's still blowin'
And that sun still rises in the East
Yeah that big fireball is still a-burnin'
Mama mama, who keeps the world turnin'?

Gather 'round folks I have a question
The answer is greater than I
Just who can we trust
In these oh so crazy times?

'Cause that westward wind's still blowin'
And that sun still rises in the East
Yeah that big fireball is still a-burnin'
Mama mama, who keeps the world turnin'?
