I seen boys get up and blowing it, with the world in the palm of their hands.I seen beautiful girls losing their curls.I seen 'em stretched out 'n' getting a tan.I seen criminal types.I'll forgive 'em the hype, dressed up in a tailored suit.I seen an angel, with a pair o' wings, running off with a bag o' loot.I said, stop, it's getting late.I said, stop trying burying your hate.I seen a human face inside a coloured race, gettin' up, and starting to run.I seen a man get bored.I seen a bone get gnawed.I seen him playing with a loaded gun.I seen you laughing loud.I seen you crying wolf.I seen you steppin' on yo' fellow man.I seen you grabbing at everything you want with a pair of clawing hands.I said, stop, it's getting late.I said, stop try burying your hate.I said, stop, and learn to love.I said stop...Look above at the crown of love; try it on, it fits you like a glove.There are jewels up there for you to take a pair.Nobody will miss them if you want to dare...I seen men acting like they're dumb.I seen women acting like they're scared.I seen 'em both, together, raising kids.SongtexteI seen 'em both with time to spare.I seen 'em loving each other.I seen 'em fighting mad.I seen 'em working for a gallon of gas.I seen an uptight man, in a monkey suit, cracking skulls for a little brass.I said, stop, it's getting late.
