Try A Little Understanding

You keep speakin' of freedom
 But what happens when you don't agree?
 Don't talk on about freedom
 When you don't know what freedom means
 Hear a song, you think wrong, you condemn it
 In your mind, you're not kind at all
 So it seems, greater means only one thing
 That with you we must agree
 Come on, wake up children, can't you see
 That you are not as free as me?
 Try a little understandin' (Try a little understandin')
 Try a little gentleness (Try a little gentleness)
 You must be able, deny the fable
 When all you do is follow
 You keep tellin' your brothers
 That man can only fight for what is right
 Don't tell me about brothers
 If you can't join the family
 When a man, takes a stand, you decry him
 Hear him speak, think he's me, that's not all
 You use force as a source of revoltin'
 'Cause with you it seems we must agree
 Come on, wake up children, can't you see
 That you are not as free as me?
 Try a little understandin' (Try a little understandin')
 Try a little gentleness (Try a little gentleness)
 You must be able, deny the fable
 When all you do is follow
 You keep speakin' of freedom
 But what happens when you don't agree?
 Don't talk on about freedom
 When you don't know what freedom means
