Lyrics

The doctors say these are trying times
Mental health, juvenile crimes
They say their science can cure most ills
With the help of a bottle of tranquiliser pills
Now the politicians throw up their hands in dismay
Of people who don't believe a word we say
Come the next election, it's just like a game
Where they lie and they bullshit with no end in shame
Oh no, no, I can't believe what they say
It's all part of human nature's way
If only for the children, I hope and pray
We see the dawn of a brighter day
The papers publish the latest poll
Thousands of people nearly hooked on alcohol
Millions get spent every year
On selling us the virtues of spirits and beer
The churches, they come on with the same old show
'Bout the place in the sky where we all go
Give us this day our daily bread
While the rain in the cities comes down tasting like lead
Oh no, no, I can't believe what they say
It's all part of human nature's way
If only for the children, I hope and pray
We see the dawn of a brighter day
It should be so easy to hold out your hand
Show some understanding of what you don't understand
Should be so easy, love your brothers in the way you should
Help them through the bad places where you once stood
It should be so easy to hold out your hand
Show some understanding of what you don't understand
Should be so easy, love your brothers in the way you should
Help them through the bad places where you once stood
Why there's too many people of political extremes
Think that pain and violence are their only means
Too many people crying out for food
While leaders go on living no good
Oh no, no, I can't believe what they say
It's all part of human nature's way
If only for the children, I hope and pray
We see the dawn of a brighter day
Oh no, no, I can't believe what they say
It's all part of human nature's way
If only for the children, I hope and pray
We see the dawn of a brighter day
