lyrics

Oh man this is just what the world needs
Another protest song
I'm sorry but I can't help thinking that
Nearly next to nothing has been done

I thought the black man was freed
I thought a woman could be what she wants to be
But I guess I was wrong
Man you might as well drop that bomb

Tell me what the world needs
Tell me what the world needs
Tell me what the world needs

I've heard the stories
They say it's getting better and it won't be long
Gee it's only been a few thousand years
I guess we're moving right along

But the children still scream
And their father just watches them bleed
I thought killing was wrong
I guess you might as well drop that bomb

Tell me what the world needs
Tell me what the world needs
Tell me what the world needs

Is it to much to ask
Is it so hard to grasp
With the light of the day
We watch the shadows of night slip away

I guess we haven't really learned a thing
The writing still on the subway walls
Somebody said that it's been washed clean
But I think we turned our head that's all

Here's how it stands of late
Somebody wants to build a corporate state
With one world one God
Somebody better drop that bomb

And tell me what the world needs
Tell me what the world needs
Tell me what the world needs
