Wherever you go, I'm with you
As long as the ocean's still blue
We've had it harder than most
A nuclear war and fools with guns in fancy clothes

They're cutting the trees to make the paperwork for loans
While, out on the street, there's people dying without homes
And I've been to Hollywood, I've seen the Devil close
The one at the party everybody wants to know

So, if your heart's been broken, sing: Sha-la-la-la (sha-la-la-la)
And if your love's been cheated on: Sha-la-la-la (sha-la-la-la)
I guess that's just the state of things
And we don't know what life will bring
But, with our voices, we can sing: Sha-la-la-la

I met a girl who tried to make her mother laugh
And I met a boy who wants to be just like his dad
He said he's a hero planting forests on TV
I guess that, sometimes, it ain't so hopeless to believe

And if your heart's been broken, sing: Sha-la-la-la (sha-la-la-la)
And if your love's been cheated on: Sha-la-la-la (sha-la-la-la)
Guess that's just the state of things
And we don't know what life will bring
But, with our voices, we can sing: Sha-la-la-la (sha-la-la-la)

Oh-ooh, oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-ooh, oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh

If your heart's been broken, sing: Sha-la-la-la (sha-la-la-la)
And if your love's been cheated on: Sha-la-la-la (sha-la-la-la)
I guess that's just the state of things
We don't know what life will bring
But, with our voices, we can sing: Sha-la-la-la

Ooh-ooh, sha-la-la-la
Ooh-ooh, sha-la-la-la
Ooh-ooh, sha-la-la-la
Ooh-ooh, sha-la-la-la
Ooh-ooh, sha-la-la-la
Ooh-ooh, sha-la-la-la
