[Verse 1] Happiness and peace Is getting more and more out of my reach Violence and revolution Seems to be all that the people wanna preach You're gunning down your brothers Molestin' your sisters and your mothers in the streets Whoa-oh, the President's talkin' 'bout change But nobody's got sense enough to come in out of the rain Hey hey hey (whoa) Hey hey hey (whoo)
[Chorus] When will the people start gettin' together? Learnin' to live and love one another? Hey hey hey now (oh) When will the people stop fightin' each other? Learning to give and help one another Hey hey hey now (aow)
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 2] War's my Golden Age I've been shipped from the cradle to the grave Put a gun in their hands Saying it's your duty to kill another man Guess somebody's been there to the mothers Makin' widows of the sweethearts and lovers And this is our land, mmhmm The President's talkin' 'bout change But nobody's got sense enough to come in out of the rain Hey hey hey (ohhh) Hey hey hey (whoo)
[Chorus] When will the people start gettin' together? Learnin' to live and love one another? Hey hey hey now (ohh) When will the people stop fightin' each other? Learn to give and help one another Hey hey hey now (aow)
