Tryin' Times

Tryin' times, is what the world is talkin' about
 You got confusion all over the land
 Mother against daughter, father against son
 The whole thing is gettin' out of hand
 But folks wouldn't have to suffer
 If there was more love for your brother
 But these are tryin' times
 You got the riots in the ghetto, and it's all around
 A whole lot of things that's wrong is going down
 I don't understand it from my point of view
 I remember somebody said, "Do unto others"
 "As you would have them do unto you"
 And then folks wouldn't have to suffer
 If there was more love
 But these are tryin' times
 ♪
 People always talk about man's inhumanity to man
 But what you tryin' to do to make this a better land?
 Just pick up your paper, turn on your TV
 You see a lot of demonstrations for equality
 But folks, folks wouldn't have to suffer
 If there was more love
 But these are tryin' times, yeah, yeah
 Tryin' times is what the world is talkin' about
 You got confusion all over, all over, all over the land
 Mother against daughter, father against son
 The whole thing is getting out of hand
