Got 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' throuqh the air
Wounded dyin' on the ground

We got to do better
When it comes to the Golden Rule
Obey it to the letter
Everything would be cool, huh

Hatred's a luxury
The price is too high
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
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
When it comes to 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, huh
If we want to survive

(Oh, do unto others)
Do unto others (oh, yeah)
As you would have
(Oh, as you would have them do unto you)
Them do unto you

Got to do better
When it comes to the Golden Rule
Obey it to the letter
Everything would be cool

Hatred's a luxury, huh
The price is too high, oh
We got to do better
If we want to survive

We got to do better
If we want to survive
(We got to do better) ooh!
If we want to survive
We're got to do better
(Hey, hey, yea yea yea)
We got to do better

You know, we got to do better, huh
If we want to survive

We got to do better, oh, you know
If we want to survive
We got to do better
Beter, better, now, yeah

We got to do better
(We got to do better) oh, yeah yeah
We got to do better (oh, yeah)
We got to do better (oh, yeah, c'mon)
We got to do better

We got to do better
(If we want to survive)

(Money!)
I, I have to try
