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 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!

What you do, and 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
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 everybody's gonna talk, and talk,
And bla bla 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 them to do to you
Ah! ah! forget it! It's gonna be some other kind 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
...
...

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
