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 getting 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, 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 talkin' about man's inhumanity to man

But what you tryna do to make this a better land?

Just pick up your paper, turn on your TV

You'll 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

Tryin times is what the world is talkin' about

You got confusion all over

All over, over the land

Mother against daughter, yeah

Father against son

The whole thing is getting out of hand
