The World Today
Alan, me and Alan gonna do this thing here, so
It's a slow going thing, it's about what happenin' today
And it will be happenin', maybe four, five years from today
Until things get down mellow all over the world
I want you to listen to this
I wonder why this world is sweet hell
I wonder why this world is in uproar
Everyday you gon' read about somethin' new
They're fighting all over the world
People fightin' all over the world
Race against race, they're fightin' everyday
I wonder when, disaster comin' to end
I wonder when, I wonder when
This nightmare comin' to a end
I can't believe it's gonna last always
And every time I pick up a paper
I always read bad news
And every time I pick up a paper
I always read bad news
I wonder when this nightmare gonna end
You find so many young people
They're fightin' in every town, on campus
You find so many young people
They're fightin' in every town, on campus
I don't know, don't know, what they right or wrong
But they're tryin' to fight for their rights, yeah-yeah-yeah
The old people, leave the young kids alone
Let them run their own life, yeah-yeah
The old folks, leave the young kids alone
And let them run their own life
It's a brand new world today
Look at here now
You'll find some of the old people
They're not hip to the modern days
They want their kids to live
Like they live
But no, them days are gone
It's a brand new world, huh
One way to solve their problem, it takes time
The old coots die out and leave it to the young kids
Be a beautiful world and then
There won't be no fighting on campus any more
'Cause my kids and your kids
When they grow up and get drunk, hm
They understand that all old coots are gone in their grave
But as long as they live
There's gonna be a fight in, in every town
Hey, hey
In every campus, the young kids walkin' out
Hey, hey-hey, hey-hey
The old folks, when they're gone, when they're gone
It'll be a better world to live in
Couple a young kids is the world today
Thank you
