What's Going On Lyrics - Adam And The Ants

Giorgio moroder/pete belotte 

(from the soudtrack of "metropolis", 1984) 

Is there a mask behind the face 

Is it a sleeveless ace 

Can a smile conceal a sneer 

How do we see clear 

What makes the truth curl up and lie 

Is it the fly-by-night 

If the counterfeit's the sham 

How do we all stand 

The deeper we put in the problem - the less we know 

What's going on 

I wanna know 

What's going on 

Remember all the cracks you feared 

Beneath the clear veneer 

Well, now they're bursting wide apart 

And this is just the start 

How does it feel to lose control - lose your goal 

So who's a friend and who's a foe - time to show 

What's going on 

I wanna know 

What's going on
