black babies running for the candy truck in africa

see them kicking up the dust from miles away

i'm drinking evian and wondering where the hell i am

looking for the preacher man to just translate

to just translate

to just translate



we're eating chicken feet

swear it kind of tastes like meat

waiting for the maasai chief to take us in

flies cover up his face

makes you want to look away

cannot take another day beneath this heat

beneath this heat



the world is falling apart

and i know in my heart, i don't know what to do about it

the world is bigger than me and i do not believe another human

being on the planet

the world, the world needs love

love and nothing else can save us now



black babies running from a big hairy elephant

i wish that i had the guts to save the day

here come the preacher man he's telling us to run like mad

leave everything you have and follow me

dive in the water hole don't drink it in you know

you'll die from an overload of some disease

dive in the water hole don't drink it in you know

you'll die from an overload of some disease

some disease



the world is falling apart

and i know in my heart, i don't know what to do about it

the world is bigger than us and i don't really trust another

human being on the planet

the world, the world needs love



the world is falling apart

and i know in my heart, i don't know what to do about it

the world is bigger than me and i do not believe another human

being on the planet

the world is falling apart

and i know in my heart, i don't know what to do about it

the world is bigger than us and i don't really trust another

human being on the planet

the world is falling apart

and i know in my heart, i don't know what to do about it

the world is bigger than me and i do not believe another human

being on the planet

the world, the world needs love
