Lyrics
Somebody Laid It On Us I don't know how or where or when Told us that we must tight each other That it's the only way to win Somebody Laid It On Us Told us that there's only one way That we are right and they are wrong And we must make them pay Somewhere long time ago Somebody said "yes I know" How to make things better By stealin' from our neighbor And people followed far and wide Standin' by that liars side People are so easily charmed Envy and greed abide "What I don't have I'll make mine By taking it from you, hurt you if I have to" But where did all this hate come from Is it natural to carry a gun I don't have the answers But there's one thing that I do know Somebody Laid It On Us I don't know how or where or when Told us that we must fight each other That it's the only way to win Somebody Laid It On Us Told us that there's only one way That we are right and they are wrong And we must make them pay Marvin told us long ago Asked us what the hell is goin on? Said war is not the answer Only love can conquer hate & wrong Is anybody listening Does anybody care Maybe I shouldn't bring up the subject There's no way out of this nightmare But I know this is reality Brothers dying in the streets Lost, this generation Should be the pride of our nation But hate crimes and vanity On the news is all I see Martin is weepin' Cause it seems we all are sleepin' One thing I know Some father's weeping Let your heart hear Some Mom's tears
