jimicullen
Well there's people dying all over the world
We got a whole lot of shit and a lot of problems to solve
So get up off your ass and do some good…

Well there's murder and rape and there's drugs and there's crime
We got a whole lot of problems and not enough time
When are we gonna wake up and realize..

That there's hundreds and thousands of refugees
There's wars and there's famines overseas
There's people dying yeah they got nothing to eat..

There's a deformation of human rights
And a western world that ignores the plights
Give guns to children, send them out to fight..

We gotta help out our brothers
We gotta help out our sisters too
we gotta -help one another
We gotta help see each other through it all…

Well there dying from Aids over in Africa
And from simpler things like diarrhoea
Every three seconds a child will pass away..

And there's people living on their feet
And there's police brutality on our street
Fear and paranoia spreading like a disease

So what ever happened to Peace, love and unity
Did our ideals they all die with the sixties
Whatever happened to love

All we see now is hate war and anarchy
There's people dying from hunger and poverty
Whatever happened to God..

We gotta help out our brothers
We gotta help out our sisters too
we gotta -help one another
We gotta help see each other through it all…

There's no more peace, love, unity, happiness, empathy, liberty, decency, good times, happy times, friendship, kindness, we don't want a part of it were running out of time.

There's only hate, war, poverty, misery, slavery, history, bad times, warning signs, prejudice, lots of it, were at the root of it the whole things gone astray.

We gotta help out our brothers
We gotta help out our sisters too
we gotta -help one another
We gotta help see each other through it all…

We gotta help out our brothers..
