Nations shall rise over nations

Mixed up moods and attitude, won't work
Mixed up moods and attitude, won't work, yeah

Plenty of we here to feed
Show the children how wonderful this used to be
Nice up the dance, the children got to love
Don't you teach them your ism and schim
Schism, rism, 'cause I say now, now

Mixed up moods and attitude, yes, don't work
It don't work, it don't work
