Emile Haynie - Come to Mama lyrics

[Verse 1] Everybody's got to love each other Stop throwin' stones at your sisters and your brothers Man, it wasn't that long ago we were all living in the jungle So why do we gotta put each other down When there's more than enough love to g-g-go around? [Chorus] Come to mama Tell me who hurt ya There's gonna be no future If we don't figure this out [Verse 2] Dude in a lab coat and a man of God (Come onto mama, come on, mama) Fought over prisms and a forty-day flood (Come onto mama, come on, mama) Well, I say rainbows did more than they've ever done (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) So why do we gotta fight over ideas? (Aah, aah, aah) We're talkin' the same old sh** after all of these years (Ayi, yi, yi) [Chorus] Come to mama Tell me who hurt ya There's gonna be no future If we don't figure this out Oh, come tomorrow Who are you gonna follow? There's gonna be no future If we don't figure this out [Verse 3] Psychic guru catches minnows in the harbor (Come onto mama, come on, mama) Everyone tells him he should work a little harder (Come onto mama, come on, mama) {Hey, man, get to work! Catch 'em!} They all tell you that freedom must be bought But baby, he's already caught 'em So why do we gotta tell each other how to live? The only prisons that exist are ones we put each other in [Chorus] Come to mama Tell me who hurt ya There's gonna be no future If we don't figure this out Oh, come tomorrow Who are you gonna follow? There's gonna be no future If we don't figure this out [Outro] Come to mama (Come onto me) (Woah, oh-oh oo oh-oo-oh) (Woah, oh-oh oo oh-oo-oh) Come on mama Come on mama Come on mama Woohoo-hoo woohoo hoo-oo-hoo Woohoo-hoo woohoo hoo-oo-hoo 'Cause I wanna be there I wanna be there for you I wanna be there Why do we gotta tell each other how to live? The only prisons that exist are ones we put each other in Why do we gotta tell each other how to live? Look what that rainbow did Oo-hoo woohoo-oo-hoo woohoo-hoo Oo-hoo woohoo-oo-hoo woohoo-hoo Oo-hoo woohoo-oo-hoo woohoo-hoo
