People these
Verse 1
days
are just acting so ridiculous
Everybody's talking
but there ain't nobody listening
And every time I see another
baby at their christenin'
The tears start to flow
cause they don't know the
it's sad, but it's true
Look around, take a peek, man,
is anybody strict with you?
It may behoove you to go
look at people on your own
Am
Em
Cause we're so gleeful with the evil,
and no one's pickin' up the phone
We don't even teach our kids no more,
we let them find their way alone
And when a young soul's grown
and ends up cold as a stone
Am
Em
Am
And doesn't value any other life
Definition of danger is personified
More susceptible to taking
other people's lives
Mothers say goodbye
while the other people cry
and the other locked inside a cell for life
Why does the world have to be this way?
so much hurt and so much pain
Em
Am
So much heartache in this world,
man it's just so hard to take
and people look the other way
it's a darkened hole
he's a hardened soul
God, I've got to know
and still have got so far to go
Arms are marked up with cracks
Now they're on the street,
they're pushin' weight
They're dealin' and
they're sellin' sacks
Welts on their back
Bumps and bruises, blue and black
Am
Em
Mama weighed up the crack
No back on the streets
Nowhere to go, nothin' to eat
Wearin' jackets made from towels
And wearin' shirts made out of sheets
Only own one pair of shoes
That are too small for your feet
And going anywhere but home
Because you know you're
gettin' beat
Your friends, parents
And teachers end up calling home
Because they think the streets are nowhere
for a record to roam
But you're alone all by yourself
Em
Am
Em
Because your home may be your home
Am
Em
but it don't feel like home to you
And only you can live your life
and only you can feel your pain
And everybody wonders why you're
only happy when it rains
And as a child you can't tell them
Em
Am
Even the little ones know what's wrong
and right inside their brains
Why does the world have to be this way?
so much hurt and so much pain
man it's just so hard to take
and people look the other way
it's a darkened hole
he's a hardened soul
God I've got to know
Em
Am
Dm
Because it's dark we need a hand
and still have got so far to go
as people we've still got so far to go
Am
Em
And ob viously we know this
and won't look down the road
It's gotta be the reason
that we let frustrations go
Am
Em
On all the different people
we relegate people to objects
just want to hate them regardless,
think they're blocking
Am
Em
our progress
We're so evil and heartless,
they are all just people too
Am
Em
We've all got lives and families
we're so enchanted by technology
Like nature was mythology,
we alter our biology
Destroying the ecology
I don't recognize the land
or half our food,
tell me, do you?
or you're fully in the matrix
Or you work for corporations,
you're reptilian and you hate us
And the only way to save us
is return to God and nature
Am
Em
I'm concerned about the future,
Why does the world have to be this way?
and so much pain
man, it's just so hard to take
and people look the other way
it's a darkened hole
he's a hardened soul
God, I've got to know
and so much pain
man, it's just so hard to take
Dm
Am
There's no heart left in this world,
it's a darkened hole
he's a hardened soul
Am
Em
Is this a part of the plan?
and still have got so far to go
