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
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
