If you saw your brother walking down the street Would you treat him just like anyone else? Have you stopped to think that it might be true That all men are your brothers? Well I'm not quite that blind as to think that someday Each might be kind to one another I'm just saying, why must they Be quite so thoughtless? People seem bewildered, keeping fronts to hide Their gentle thoughts that they are thinking Crowds of lonely people searching for acceptance Never finding what they're needing Looking past each other, carelessness the cause of all
Contempt that they are breeding And I keep asking, why must they Be quite so thoughtless? Mmm, why so thoughtless? Maybe in the future, people will discover How to talk with one another They will be defenseless, that's because they will not Feel the need for false defenses They will learn to love, learn to have compa**ion without Fear from consequences They'll glance back and ask "Why were you so thoughtless?" Oh, why so thoughtless?
