That's What's Wrong with the World Today
He's standin' on the corner
The truth is on his lips
Offering the gift of love and peace
Someone says he's crazy
And the crowd just passes by
No one stays to hear the prophet speak
That's what's wrong
With the world today
Meanwhile in the alley
A salesman holds a crowd
Putting artificial comforts in their hands
Doubling his money
With every lie he sells
A profit the salesman understands
That's what's wrong
With the world today
That's what's wrong
With the world today
That's what's wrong
With the world today
It's easier to sell a lie
Than to give the truth away
The prophet knows that truth
Is hard to give away
All receive but most don't wanna pay
Then the salesman he can sell you
Enough to get you by
Dig into your pockets
And buy yourself a lie
That's what's wrong
With the world today
That's what's wrong
With the world today
That's what's wrong
With the world today
It's easier to sell a lie
Than to give the truth away
The salesman and the prophet
Are there to meet your needs
Ask of either one
And you'll receive
That's what's wrong
With the world today
The truth is on his lips
Offering the gift of love and peace
Someone says he's crazy
And the crowd just passes by
No one stays to hear the prophet speak
That's what's wrong
With the world today
Meanwhile in the alley
A salesman holds a crowd
Putting artificial comforts in their hands
Doubling his money
With every lie he sells
A profit the salesman understands
That's what's wrong
With the world today
That's what's wrong
With the world today
That's what's wrong
With the world today
It's easier to sell a lie
Than to give the truth away
The prophet knows that truth
Is hard to give away
All receive but most don't wanna pay
Then the salesman he can sell you
Enough to get you by
Dig into your pockets
And buy yourself a lie
That's what's wrong
With the world today
That's what's wrong
With the world today
That's what's wrong
With the world today
It's easier to sell a lie
Than to give the truth away
The salesman and the prophet
Are there to meet your needs
Ask of either one
And you'll receive
That's what's wrong
With the world today
