Judd Apatow - We've Got To Do Something lyrics

Lately Mother Earth has been feeling unsatisfied I'd say it's plain from the rain the sweet lady's started to cry Fires crackle and blaze in the rays of her burning heart And I don't think it's smart to Lay and wait for the day that she dies in our arms We gotta do something We gotta do something Before Mother Earth gets anymore hurt We gotta do something From what I've read there's a lotta bad stuff in the world today It's been said it's getting rough to find a place where the children play So, Mr. Prime Minister and Mr. President, you better see that it's not only me, no Our mob is rising in size And they've been dying to scream out to you! You gotta do something We gotta do something Sometimes I sit in my room and I don't know what to do But we've gotta do something! It's time to do something Someone should do something We gotta do something And that someone is you, and you, and you, and you! I pray it ain't all lost and gone I pray we might learn right from wrong And I pray this broken day will not last too long I pray that you believe my song... darlin'! You know I'm sorry if this is hard for you to take But a lot of it just needs saying And I don't see anyone else out there Giving out this message And if I don't do this, who's gonna do it? And maybe, if someone hears these words Maybe the whole world gets round and listens to what I'm sayin' Then maybe we have a chance Because I don't wanna see another child crying I don't wanna see another dog dyin' in the streets I can't see another homeless man because it doesn't seem right to me He's got a home He's not got a home What's the point in that? Why can't we all just get together? In one big home? And if I was in government Then I'd government things much more differentlier Because it ain't the best way to government things So there's poor people everywhere You know I would just be sittin' alone Thinkin' "How can I do something?" 'Cos I ain't gonna be in chains no more You lot might have been conned But I ain't been conned 'Cos I'm a free man I'm free And I'm gonna let my soul soar And the way I do that is through my music So why don't you do something?
