we got people running round trying to kill each other instead of getting 'long like sisters and brothers i don't think these things will ever cease they think your talking 'bout guns when you talk about peace there's a spirit that permeates the world these days it covers the earh just like a sickly haze it's a spirit of hate that's shrouded in fear and if we don't change it fast we'll all be out of hear can't you see what wer're doing here i can and i think it's a crime if we don't turn this mess around we'll all be living here living here on borrowed time
there's people all around us who think that they're better by the color of their skin well i think that's hollow and i'm not going to follow you your love must be so thin there's children all around us with they're lives cut down by knives crack and guns if we don't open our eyes and stop being so blind they won't be the only ones
when will we ever learn a better way to live our time will come when we learn that we have to give more to each other than we are giving now but we're all waiting for someone else to show us how when we realize we must take the lead stop the wounds of ignorance so they no longer bleed substitute hate and fear with love and good cheer let the fauls of others slide if we don't we're in for a long long ride
we got politicians who don't give a damn who are in it for the monney and cash well out of it all you got the farthest to fall you're going to make the loudest crash there's a time coming near that we all better fear we just can't run away so you better prepare and you better take care it's not that far away can't you see what wer're doing here i can and i think it's a crime if we don't turn this mess around we'll all be living here living here on borrowed time
