Lyrics

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
