Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah |
|
Tryin' times, what the world is talkin' about |
|
You got confusion all over the land, yeah |
|
You got mother against daughter, you got father against son |
|
You know the whole thing is getting out of hand |
|
Then maybe folks wouldn't have to suffer |
|
If there was more love for your brother |
|
But these are tryin' times, yeah, yeah |
|
You got the riots in the ghetto, it's all around |
|
A whole lot of things that's wrong is going down, yes, it is |
|
I can't understand it from my point of view |
|
'Cause I think you should do unto others |
|
As you'd have them do unto you |
|
Then maybe folks wouldn't have to suffer |
|
If there was more love for your brother |
|
But these are tryin' times, yes, it is |
|
I said man is always talking 'bout it's inhumanity to man |
|
But what is he tryin' to do to make it a better man? |
|
Oh, just read the paper, turn on your TV |
|
You see folks demonstrating about equality |
|
But maybe folks wouldn't have to suffer |
|
If there was more love for your brother |
|
But these are tryin' times |
|
Tryin' times, yeah, that's what the world is talkin' about |
|
You got confusion all over the land |
