Eric Bibb - Got to Do Better lyrics

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

Wе need a total revision
Of the way we undеrstand
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
