Our Generation
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hope of the world is in our generation
It's all left up to us to change this present situation
Take caution from our elders, don't make the same mistake
Let's fill the world with love, and get rid of all the hate
Our elders taught us one thing but, practice another
Just look at what happened to the indian and the brother
Straighten it out (x3)
Hope of the world is in our generation
It's all left up to us to change this present situation
Our leaders make us fight, and we don't know what for
If they want people killed, let them fight the war
It's gotta end somewhere, this killing's got to cease
If no one were to fight, we'd all live in peace
Our generation, it's all left up to us
Our generation, let's do just what we must
Straighten it out, gotta straighten it out
Straighten it out, , we can straighten it out
Our generation, let's straighten it out (repeat till end)
