Got To Do Better - Eric Bibb

Generation after generation

Raised on bitter tears

Confrontation after confrontation

Too many years

Politicians gettin' nowhere

Peace talks breakin' down

Stones an' bullets flyin' throuqh the air

Wounded dyin' on the ground

We got to do better

When it comes to the Golden Rule

Obey it to the letter

Everything would be cool

Hatred’s a luxury

The price is too high

Got to do better

If we want to survive

W need a total revision

Of the way we undrstand

We’re talkin' race an' religion

Money an' land

We’re supposed to be learnin'

To love one another

Instead the streets are burnin'

Brother killin' brother

We got to do better

When it comes to the Golden Rule

Obey it to the letter

Everything would be cool

Hatred’s a luxury

The price is too high

We got to do better

If we want to survive

Do unto others

As you would have

Them do unto you

Got to do better

When it comes to the Golden Rule

Obey it to the letter

Everything would be cool

Hatred’s a luxury

The price is too high

We got to do better

If we want to survive

We got to do better

If we want to survive

We got to do better

We got to do better

You know, we got to do better

If we want to survive
