This World Today Is A Mess

What you do, what you say

 Has a lot to do in how you live today

 What you want, and what you make,

 Everybody knows it's only what you take

 What you see, and what you hear,

 When it comes around again it's not too clear

 You say yes, they say no,

 Everybody's talking everywhere you go

 

You try to give another man a helping hand

 He will take your kindness for a weaker stand

 Never do to others what they do to you

 Try to find another way to make it through

 

What I say is what I know,

 Try to get a favour going from door to door

 You stop and pray it's out of style,

 You get a step ahead it takes a hundred miles

 What I say is what I know

 Try to get a favour going from door to door

 You stop and pray, you know that's out of style,

 Get a step ahead it takes a hundred miles

 

You try to give another man a helping hand

 He will take your kindness for a weaker stand

 Never do to others what they do to you

 You'd better do it to them before they do it to you.
