people gotta love again

wake up everybody

take a good look around

there's far too many reasons

for all the troubles goin' down

jesus is watchin'

and the devil is alive

buddha is cryin'

and allah is mystified

brothers killin' brothers

and our children in the streets

we gotta change the times

we gotta change the times

the world is watchin'

look at the shape we're in

there ain't no doubt about it

people gotta love again

down on every corner

we got children sellin' dope

who's gonna send a message

and try to give 'em hope

jesus is watchin'

and the devil is alive

buddha is cryin'

and allah is mystified

brothers killin' brothers

and our children in the streets

we gotta change the times

we gotta change the times

the world is watchin'

look at the shape we're in

there ain't no doubt about it

people gotta love again

oh what a shame when they try to pretend

all my brothers and sisters

people gotta love again

can't buy love with a paycheck

it means nothin' to a boy and girl

you need universal love of all mankind

to change what's wrong with the world

the world is watchin'

look at the shape we're in

there ain't no doubt about it

people gotta love again

oh what a shame when they try to pretend

all my brothers and sisters

people gotta love again
