Rescue the children by Junior Murvin Lyrics

Everyday you take up the daily paper
All you read is about war
War over here, war over there
War, war is always aloud

Your simplest world is a ball of confusion
And there ain't nothing but confusion
Confusion in the land, in the air
Confusion everywhere

Somebody got to rescue the children (x2)
Somebody got to give 'em helping hand

White against Black everyday
Looting, shooting, going to jail
Lord, it's a dirty dirty shame

The poor people of the ghettos
They really can't do no better
The men of high society
Sit at home sippin' his coffee
You see he really don't give a damn
Because he has his share already
Somebody got to rescue the children
Somebody got to give 'em helping hand

Little children going to school
Nobody to set this golden rule
Somebody got to set an exemple for the children, to follow
They're the people of tomorrow, lord

The cost of living is rising high
And only the strong will survive

Its gettin' higher higher higher higher higher higher higher higher higher (x3)

Man judging man by this clothes he wear
What the hell is going on down here
This world ain't what it's supposed to be
There's no love, no unity
God, come down and [?] this situation that we livin' in

Somebody got to rescue the children, somebody ...
