[00:00.24]We've Got to do Something! [00:06.20]Infant Sorrow [00:07.83] [00:09.72] [00:11.80] [00:13.14]Lately mother earth has been feeling unsatisfied, [00:18.99]I'd say it's plain from the rain the sweet lady's started to cry, [00:25.18]Fires crackle and blaze in the rays of her burning heart, [00:29.25]and I don't think it's smart to, [00:31.64]Lay and wait for the day that she dies in our arms. [00:35.22] [00:36.83]We gotta do something, [00:39.56]We gotta do something, [00:42.87]Before mother earth gets anymore hurt, [00:46.27]We gotta do something! [00:48.91] [00:51.23]From what I've read there's a lotta bad stuff in the world today, [00:57.43]It's been said it's getting rough to find a place where the children play, [01:02.74]So, Mr Prime Minister and Mr President you better see that it's [01:08.11]not only me, no, our mob is rising in size, [01:11.60]and they've been dying to scream out to you! [01:14.72] [01:15.26]You gotta do something, [01:18.02]We gotta do something, [01:21.59]Sometimes I sit in my room and I don't know what to do, [01:24.51]but we've gotta do something! [01:26.89] [01:27.63]It's time to do something, [01:30.50]Someone should do something, [01:33.62]We gotta do something, [01:36.35]and that someone is you, [01:37.47] [01:38.00]and you and you and you! [01:39.87] [01:41.56]I pray it ain't all lost and gone, [01:46.89]I pray we might learn right from wrong, [01:52.91]and I pray this broken day, will not last too long, [01:58.78]I pray that you believe my song ... Darlin'! [02:05.51] [02:12.34]You know I'm sorry if this is hard for you to take, [02:15.94]But a lot of it just needs saying, [02:18.39]and I don't see anyone else out there, [02:20.40]giving out this message, [02:21.90]and if I don't do this, Who's gonna do it? [02:25.17]And maybe, if someone hears these words, [02:27.61]maybe the whole world gets round and listens, [02:30.49]to what I'm sayin', and maybe we have a chance. [02:33.72]Because I don't wanna see another child crying, [02:36.39]I don't wanna see another dog dying in the streets, [02:40.39]I can't see another homeless man, because it doesn't seem right to me, [02:44.81]He's got a home, and he's not got a home, [02:47.04]What's the point in that? [02:48.58]Why can't we all just get together, in one big home, [02:52.80]and if I was in Government, [02:54.41]Then I'd Government things much more differentlier, [02:57.33]because it ain't the best way to government things, [03:00.13]So there's poor people everywhere, [03:02.24]You know I would just be sittin' alone, [03:04.40]Thinkin' "How can I do something?", [03:06.69]'Cos I ain't gonna be in chains no-more, [03:08.88]You lot might have been conned, but I ain't been conned, [03:12.32]'Cos I'm a free man, I'm free, and I'm gonna let my soul soar, [03:17.00]and the way I do that is through my music, [03:20.30]so why don't you do something?
