Lyrics

[00:04.667] Ah...
[00:12.082] Well, I been working up a fever trying to
[00:15.510] Straighten up the mess in my mind about this place
[00:20.711] I can't contain myself anymore
[00:23.724] Can't you see it's written all over my face
[00:28.539] Why don't you get on your feet
[00:30.565] It's about time you got to think
[00:32.572] What ever happened to peace
[00:35.190] Well open your eyes and you'll see children laughing
[00:44.944] Voices singin', hearts a-beatin' ah...
[01:00.613]
[01:01.479] You're always talkin' right and talkin about
[01:04.646] The world and its corruption and moral decay
[01:09.675] But what you gonna do about it, nothing
[01:12.755] 'cause you're more like children than children while they play
[01:17.432] Why, you're so clean through and through you won't shake hands
[01:20.947] With a negro who's maybe cleaner then you
[01:23.725] Well listen around and you'll hear children laughin'
[01:33.862] Voices singin', hearts a-beatin' like they always do
[01:45.574] So what's wrong with you, ah...
[01:57.928]
[01:58.821] You're so blown up with anger about the world
[02:01.761] You write the songs about
[02:02.864] Yet you don't even know your neighbors name
[02:07.143] Now you want to go the the moon and live there
[02:10.348] When you know it'll only end up the same
[02:15.029] How can he give you any gratitude
[02:17.506] With your endless sickenin' attitude
[02:19.570] You strive to get ahead
[02:21.398] But you leave each other dead
[02:23.460] Can't you see, children laughin'
[02:31.547] Voices singin', hearts beatin' like they always do
[02:43.295] So what's wrong with you, ah...
[03:00.404] Children laughin', voices singin' hearts beatin'
[03:12.580] Children laughin', voices singin
[03:19.345]
