Yo La Tengo Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 (edited) Comment (If All Men Are Truly Brothers)Originally by Charles WrightBased on the version from Kicking Television Watch out for your friendsWell they may lose in the endSometimes their child can make you sinWhat is a man without a friend?We all live within a gameThe word 'excuse' has many namesWhere true friends really comeYou can't afford to lose one If all men were truly brothersWhy then do we hurt one another?Love and peace from ocean to oceanSomebody please second my emotion!All men were born to be free, yeahWhat about you? And what about me?This world is filled with hate! There's nothing leftIf you enslave me, you'll never rescue yourself Well jealousy, as I recallHas always been man's hardest fallTo conquer fear, well that's quite a questUntil we do never restA child was born yesterdayNothing but an innocent babeSomeone sowed a bitter seedHow could it grow but a bitter weed?Society, how can you teachIf you don't practice what you preach? If all men were truly brothersWhy then, can't we love one another?Love and peace from ocean to oceanSomebody please second my emotion!All men were born to be free, yeahWhat about you? What about me?This world is filled with hate!There's nothing leftIf you enslave me, you'll only hurt yourself Hey you! Over there!I want to know why you leftWith all your riches and your fancy thingsCan you tell me how many friends can you truly say you have? Feel free to offer corrections.
