The doctors say these are trying times
Mental health juvenile crimes
They say their science can cure most ills
With a help of a bottle of tranquilliser pills
The politicians throw up their hands in dismay
"The people don't believe a word we say"
Come the next Election it's just like a game
Where they lie and they bullshit without any shame
Oh no no I can't believe what they say
"It's all part of human natures 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 newly hooked on alcohol
Yet millions get spent every year
On telling us the virtues of spirits and beer
The churches come on with that same old show
About the place in the sky where we all go
Crying "give us this day our daily bread"
While the rain in the cities comes down tasting like lead
Oh no no I don't believe what they say
"It's all part of human natures 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 our hand
Show some understanding of what you don't quite understand
It should be so easy, love your brothers in the way you should
Help them through the bad places, where you once stood
While 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 their leaders go on living to no good
Oh no no . . .
