Lyrics Treat Each Other Right - Greg Brown

Treat Each Other Right

One of these nights, I wouldn’t be surprised
If even the old moon had to close her pretty eye —
We got so evil, I feel troubled tonight
This old world brought us all here
So why can’t we treat each other right
I was watching the TV in a motel and I had to turn away
Somebody killed a bunch of children, said it was about their godly way
My friend had a dream, it about made me cry
He said he saw two stone Buddhas rising where those towers had filled the sky
Peace on earth, when will it ever be in sight?
This old world is everybody’s beautiful home
So why can’t we treat each other right
If everyone is praying to whatever gods there may be
I’d say we all better pray to each other for forgiveness before we lose our
sanity
We got so evil…
