Let me ask you a question tell me no lies

My friends you see are your alibis - now tell me

Do you ever think of the life that you live

When you live it do you really give it all you can give

I ask you this because the time is so near

No woman, no cry, no livin' in fear

Lift up your head now ya must stand tall

'Less ya won't be around to see Babylon fall



All we really wanna see the time for change has gotta be NOW!

I can see that it's time in our lives to change things

Never been so clear as it is today



Good people now hear this - you gotta show love

Please stop all the violence - the push and the shove

All we wanna see is peace in our days

Freein' up the people of their evil ways

I don't wanna live life of constant struggle

Still people everyday are in a state of trouble

Let us enjoy the life that we have been given

Avoid all the strife if we keep on livin'



I can see that it's time in our lives to change things

Never been so clear as it is today

And if this time I am right soon the world will be changing

As one nation we'll see a brighter day



Buildings are burning the pages are turning

Yet nobody really wants to deal with it

The graveyards are filling because of the killing

Yet nobody really wants to deal with it

There's drugs in the cornfield and blood on the windshield

Yet nobody really wants to deal with it

We're losing the best with one shot to the chest

And nobody really wants to deal with it
