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
|
