(don't worry) if there's a hell below, we're all going to go

Singer:curtis mayfield

last night i was so depressed

and i went and got a bible

and i turned to the book of revelations

and if people would just get

read the bible

and read the book of revelations

they would really turn around and straighten up

all we need to do

to get the good book

and read it

put it to everyday life

sisters

niggers

whities

jews

crackers

don't worry

if there's hell below

we're all gonna go

ah

sisters

brothers and the whities

blacks and the crackers

police and their backers

they're all political actors

hurry

people running from their worries

while the judge and the juries

dictate the law that's partly flawed

catcalling

love balling

fussing and cussing

top billing now is killing

for peace no one is willing

kind of make you get that feeling

everybody smoke

use the pill and the dope

educated fools

from uneducated schools

pimping people is the rule

polluted water in the pool

and nixon talking about don't worry

he say don't worry

he say don't worry

he say don't worry

but they don't know

there can be no show

and if there's a hell below

we're all gonna go

everybody praying

and everybody saying

but when come time to do

everybody's laying

just talking about don't worry

they say don't worry

they say don't worry

they say don't worry

sisters

brothers and the whities

blacks and the crackers

police and their backers

they're all political actors

smoke

the pill and the dope

educated fools

from uneducated schools

pimping people is the rule

polluted water in the pool

and everybody saying don't worry

they say don't worry

they say don't worry

they say don't worry

but they don't know

there can be no show

and if there's a hell below

we're all gonna go

lord

what we're gonna do

tell me what we gonna do

if everything i say is true

this ain't no way it ought to be

if only all the mass could see

but they keep talking 'bout don't worry

they say don't worry

they say don't worry

they say don't worry
