| Everyday you take up the daily paper
|
| All you read is about war
|
| War over here, war over there
|
| War, war is always aloud
|
| Your simplest world is a ball of confusion
|
| And there ain’t nothing but confusion
|
| Confusion in the land, in the air
|
| Confusion everywhere

| Somebody got to rescue the children (x2)
|
| Somebody got to give 'em helping hand
|
| White against Black everyday
|
| Looting, shooting, going to jail
|
| Lord, it’s a dirty dirty shame
|
| The poor people of the ghettos
|
| They really can’t do no better
|
| The men of high society
|
| Sit at home sippin' his coffee
|
| You see he really don’t give a damn
|
| Because he has his share already
|
| Somebody got to rescue the children
|
| Somebody got to give 'em helping hand
|
| Little children going to school
|
| Nobody to set this golden rule
|
| Somebody got to set an exemple for the children, to follow
|
| They’re the people of tomorrow, lord
|
| The cost of living is rising high
|
| And only the strong will survive
|
| Its gettin' higher higher higher higher higher higher higher higher higher (x3)
|
| Man judging man by this clothes he wear
|
| What the hell is going on down here
|
| This world ain’t what it’s supposed to be
|
| There’s no love, no unity
|
| God, come down and this situation that we livin' in
|
| Somebody got to rescue the children, somebody … |
