Lyrics for Better People by India Arie
I wish there was a video game
To teach you your ancestors names
I wish there was a phone number
Like 1-800-Save-Your-Brother
I'm thankful for the radio station
Not afraid to put the truth in rotation
There are certain information
That you can only get in conversation with...
Young people, who talk to
Old people, it would make us
Better people, all around
And if old people would talk to
Young people, it would make us all
Better people, all around
We went from radio to TV
Now we're going from LP to CD
Don't be afraid to try something new
I can help you with the brand new technology
Help me with the age old philosophy
Together there's so much we can do, with
Young people, who talk to
Old people, it would make us
Better people, all around
If old people would talk to
Young people, it would make us
Better people, all around
They say that every
Generation gets worse
Whether if your generous or no purse
These problems tend to strive off the sky
Listen to Mahatma Ghandi's words
"Be the change you want to see in the world"
Start with yourself and healing will multiply
Aaaah, that's what happens when..
Young people, who talk to
Old people, it would make us
Better people, all around...
If old people would talk to
Young people, it would.....
Better people, all around....
If Black people
Would talk to white people
It would make us
Better people
All around
If republican people would
Talk to democratic people
It would make us diplomatic people
All around
