Soul Man

What's wrong with the world today?

Things just got to get better

Show me what the leaders say

Maybe we should write a letter

Said Dear Mr. Man, we don't understand

Why poor people keep struggling but you don't lend a helping hand

Matthew 5: 5 say "The meek shall inherit the earth"

We wanna be down that way

But you been trippin since the day of your birth

Who said that to kill is a sin

Then started every single war that Ur people been in?

Who said that water is a precious commodity

Then dropped a big old black oil slick in the deep blue sea?

Who told me, Mr. Man, that working round the clock

Would buy me a big housed in the hood

Cigarette ads on every block

Who told me, Mr. Man, that Eye got a right to moan?

How about this bog old hole in the ozone?

What's wrong with the world today

Things just got to get better

Dear Mr. Man, we don't understand

Maybe we should write a letter

Listen, Ain't no sense in voting - same song with a different name

Might not b in the back of the bus but it sure feel just the same

Ain't nothing fair about welfare

Ain't no assistance in AIDS

We ain't that affirmative about your actions until the people get paid

Ur thousand years r up

Now you got to share the land

Section 1 - the 14th amendment says "No state shall deprive any person of life,

Liberty, or property, without due process of law"

Mr. Man, we want to end this letter with 3 words

We tired you all
