THIS WORLD TODAY IS A MESS

Donna Hightower

............

What you do,

what you say

Has a lot to do

in how you live today

What you want,

and what you make

Everybody knows it's only

what you take

What you see,

and what you hear

When it comes around again,

it's not too clear

You say yes,

they say no

Everybody's talking

everywhere you go

You try to give another

man a helping hand

He will take your kindness

for a weaker stand

Never do to others

what they do to you

Try to find another way

to make it through uuu

What I say

is what I know

Try to get a favour

going from door to door

You stop and pray,

it's out of style

You get a step ahead,

it takes a hundred miles

an hour

What I say is what I know

Try to get a favour

going from door to door

You stop and pray,

you know that's out of style

Get a step ahead,

it takes a hundred miles

Now you try to give another man

a helping hand

He will take your kindness

for a weaker stand

Never do to others

what they do to you

You'd better do it to them

before they do it to you

What you do,

and what you say

Has a lot to do

in how you live today

What you want,

and what you make

Everybody knows it's only

what you take

What you see,

and what you hear

When it comes around again,

it's not too clear

You say yes,

they say no

Everybody's talking

everywhere you go
