Better People (Great Grandmother song)
|
|
|
Yeah Yeah!
|
Yeah Yeah!
|
|
[Verse 1:]
|
I wish there was a video game
|
to teach you your ancestors name
|
I wish there was a phone number
|
|
like 1-800-Save-Your-Brother
|
I'm thankful for the radio station
|
Not afraid to put the truth in rotation
|
|
there are skirts of information
|
That you can only get in conversation with...
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Young People, who talk to
|
Old People, it would make us
|
Better People, all around...
|
(Yes it would)
|
|
And if Old People would talk to
|
Young People, it would make us
|
Better People, all around....
|
(Yes it would)
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
We went from radio to TV
|
Now we're going from LP to CD
|
Don't be afraid
|
|
To try something new
|
I can help you with the brand new technology
|
Help me with the age old philosophy
|
Together there's so much we can do with:
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Young People, who talk to
|
Old People, it would make us
|
Better People, all around...
|
|
And if Old People would talk to
|
Young People, it would make us
|
Better People, all around....
|
|
They say that every
|
Generation gets worse
|
Whether if your generous or no purse
|
|
These problems tend to strive off the sky (yeah)
|
Listen to Mahatma Ghandi's words
|
Be the change you want to see in the world
|
Start with yourself and healing will multiply
|
AAAAAAH, that's what happens When..
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Young People, who talk to
|
Old People, it would make us
|
Better People, all around...
|
|
If Old People would talk to
|
Young People, it would.....
|
Better People, all around....
|
|
If black people
|
Would talk to white people
|
It would make us
|
Better People
|
All Around....
|
|
If Republican people would
|
Talk to Democratic people
|
It would make us diplomatic people
|
[laugh] All Around.....
