Lyrics

Something's Got to Give

I wish for peace between the races Someday we shall all be one Why fight yourself? This one is called Rectify There's something coming to the surface There's fire all around But this is all illusion I've seen better days than this one I've seen better nights than this one Tension is rebuilding Something's got to give Something's got to give Someday, we shall all be one Jesus Christ, we're nice
