India.arie - Better People lyrics

(Yeah, yeah) I wish there was a video game To teach you your ancestor 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 is certain information That you can only get in conversation with... [Chorus:] Young people would talk to Old people, it would make us a Better people all around (Yes, it would) And if old people would talk to Young people, it would make us Better people all around (Yes, it would) (Yeah, yeah) We went from radio to TV Now we're going from LP to CD Don't be afraid to try something new (yeah) I can help you with the brand new technology If you can help me with the age old philosophy Together there's so much we can do when... [Chorus] (Yeah, yeah) They say that every generation gets worse They call it a generational curse But these problems don't just drop out the sky (yeah) But listen to Mahatma Ghandi's words And be the change you want to see in the world Start with yourself, and healing will multiply Ah, that's what happens when... [Chorus] If black people would talk to white people It would make us a better people all around If Republican people would talk to Democratic people It would make us diplomatic people all around
