Lyrics What Goes On - The Archies

What Goes On

What goes on in the mind of a distant nation
What goes on, what goes on, what goes on
You been gone like a bird on a long vacation
You been gone
What goes on, what goes on?
Once before I played the part just like a movie-star
Now I find it’s all left behind
And no one seems to care who you are
In the eyes of some far off place
Where are you when I need you to stay?
Won’t somebody tell me baby, what goes on?
What goes on???
(instrumental break)
Ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba
Ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba
Once before I played the part just like a movie-star
Now I find it’s all left behind
And no one seems to care who you are
In the eyes of some far off place
Where are you when I need you to stay?
Won’t somebody tell me baby, what goes on?
What goes on???
(instrumental fade out)
