This World Today Is A Mess

In the style of

Donna Hightower

Lyrics

what you do, what you say
has a lot to do

in how you live today

what you want, 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 uh hand

ah, 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

door to door

you stop and pray
it's out of style

you get a step ahead it takes
a hundred miles and now uh

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

now you try
to give another man

a helping uh 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, ah

what you do, and 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

and now what you see

and what you hear

when it comes around again
it's not gonna be

the same thing

because you're gonna
say yes

and they're gonna
say no

and then everybody's
gonna so talk and talk

and a blah blah
everywhere you go

and you know something
you try to give another man

a helping hand

you know
what he's gonna do

he's gonna take your kindness
for a weaker stand

you try to do for others
what you'd like for them

to do for you
ah, ah, ah, ah forget it

it's gonna be
some other kind of thing

so you try to give another man
ah, listen, a helping hand

he will take your kindness
for a weaker stand

never do to others
what they do to you

i'm gonna try to be
the best i can

and maybe i'll suck it to you

you'd better try
to give another man

ah, i'm not
the kind of helping hand
