(Cheryl Wheeler/Chet Powers)
Maybe itæ¯ the movies, maybe itæ¯ the books
Maybe itæ¯ the government and all the other crooks
Maybe itæ¯ the drugs, maybe itæ¯ the parents
Maybe itæ¯ the gangs, or the colors that weæ®e wearin'
Maybe itæ¯ the high schools, maybe itæ¯ the teachers
Tattoos, pipe bombs underneath the bleachers
Maybe itæ¯ the music, maybe itæ¯ the crack
Maybe itæ¯ the bible, or could it be the lack
Come on people, now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another, right now...right now
Okay, maybe itæ¯ the papers, maybe itæ¯ the family
Maybe itæ¯ the internet, radio, TV
Maybe itæ¯ the president, maybe itæ¯ the last one
Maybe itæ¯ the one before that
Maybe itæ¯ the athletes, maybe itæ¯ the dads
Maybe itæ¯ the sports fans, agents, fads
Maybe itæ¯ the homeless, aliens, immigrants
Maybe itæ¯ life, donæ° tell me that itæ¯ imminent
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
You gotta love one another
Maybe itæ¯ the fallout, maybe itæ¯ the ozone
Maybe itæ¯ the chemicals, the radiation, cell phones
Maybe itæ¯ the magazines, maybe it the next page
Lotteries, fast food, bad news, road rage
Maybe it the unions, big business
Maybe itæ¯ the KKK and the skinheads
Maybe itæ¯ the daughters, maybe itæ¯ the sons
Maybe itæ¯ the brothers of the mothers or the guns
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
(You know, if we donæ° talk about it
It ainæ° gonna get better)
We gotta love one another
(So, whadda say, letæ¯ talk)
Maybe itæ¯ the parks, maybe itæ¯ the sex
Maybe itæ¯ the talk shows, maybe itæ¯ a reflex
Maybe itæ¯ the taxes, maybe itæ¯ the system
Judges, lawyers, prisons
Maybe itæ¯ the Catholics, maybe itæ¯ the Protestants
Maybe itæ¯ the addicts, and the hippies and communists
Maybe itæ¯ a fashion, maybe itæ¯ a trend
Maybe itæ¯ the future... maybe itæ¯ the end
