Go to do better
Generation after generation raised on bitter tears
Confrontation after confrontation, too many years
Politicians gettin' nowhere, peace talks breakin' down
Stones an' bullets flyin' through the air
Wounded dyin' on the ground
We got to do better with the golden rule
Obey it to the letter, everything would be cool
Hatred's a luxury, the price is too high
We got to do better if we want to survive
We need a total revision of the way we understand
We're talkin' race an' religion, uh, money an' land
We're supposed to be learnin' to love one another
Instead, the streets are burnin', brother killin' brother
We got to do better, c'mon, clap your hands, with the golden rule
Obey it to the letter, everything would be cool, c'mon
Hatred's a luxury, you know the price is too high
We got to do better if we want to survive
Oh, yeah
Do unto others
Oh, yes
As you would have
Them do unto you
Got to do better, c'mon clap your hands, with the golden rule
Obey it to the letter, everything would be cool
Hatred's a luxury, you know the price is too high
We got to do better, c'mon, if we want to survive
We got to do better, whoo, if we want to survive
We got to do better if we want to survive
We got to do better if we want to survive
Yeah
Yeah, yeah-yeah, ooh
Oh yeah, oh mama, oh papa
Yes sir
Confrontation after confrontation, too many years
Politicians gettin' nowhere, peace talks breakin' down
Stones an' bullets flyin' through the air
Wounded dyin' on the ground
We got to do better with the golden rule
Obey it to the letter, everything would be cool
Hatred's a luxury, the price is too high
We got to do better if we want to survive
We need a total revision of the way we understand
We're talkin' race an' religion, uh, money an' land
We're supposed to be learnin' to love one another
Instead, the streets are burnin', brother killin' brother
We got to do better, c'mon, clap your hands, with the golden rule
Obey it to the letter, everything would be cool, c'mon
Hatred's a luxury, you know the price is too high
We got to do better if we want to survive
Oh, yeah
Do unto others
Oh, yes
As you would have
Them do unto you
Got to do better, c'mon clap your hands, with the golden rule
Obey it to the letter, everything would be cool
Hatred's a luxury, you know the price is too high
We got to do better, c'mon, if we want to survive
We got to do better, whoo, if we want to survive
We got to do better if we want to survive
We got to do better if we want to survive
Yeah
Yeah, yeah-yeah, ooh
Oh yeah, oh mama, oh papa
Yes sir
