Carpenters - What's The Use lyrics

What's wrong with the world 2day?

Things just got 2 get better

Sho' ain't what the leaders say

Maybe we should write a letter

Dear Mr. Man

We don't understand

Y poor people keep struggling

But U don't lend a helping hand

Matthew 5:5 say:

The meek shall inherit the earth

We wanna b down that way

But U been trippin since the day of Ur birth

Who said that 2 kill is a sin

Then started every single war

That Ur people been in?

Who said that water

Is a precious commodity

Then dropped a big old black oil slick

In the deep blue sea?

Who told me, Mr. Man

That working round the clock

Would buy me a big house in the 'hood

With cigarette ads on every block

Who told me Mr. Man

That Eye got a right 2 moan?

How 'bout this big ol' hole in the ozone?

What's wrong with the world 2day

Things just got 2 get better

Dear Mr. Man, we don't understand

Maybe we should write a letter

Listen, ain't no sense in voting

Same song with a different name

Might not b in the back of the bus

But it sho' feel just the same

Ain't nothin' fair about welfare

Ain't no assistance in AIDS

Ain't nothing affirmative about ur actions

'Till the people get paid

Ur thousand years r up

Now U got 2 share the land

Section 1, the 14th Amendment says:

No state shall deprive any person

Of life, liberty, or property

Without due process of law

Mr. Man,

We want 2 end this letter with 3 words
