Come To Mama

Everybody’s got to love each other
Stop throwin’ stones at your sisters and your brothers
Man, it wasn’t that long ago we were all living in the jungle
So why do we gotta put each other down?
When there’s more than enough love to g-g-go around

Come to Mama
Tell me who hurt ya
There’s gonna be no future
If we don’t figure this out

Dude in a labcoat and a man of God (Come on to Mama, come on, Mama)
Fought over prisms and a forty-day flood (Come on to Mama, come on, Mama)
Well, I say rainbows did more than they’ve ever done
So why do we gotta fight over ideas?
We’re talkin’ the same old shit after all of these years

Come to Mama
Tell me who hurt ya
There’s gonna be no future
If we don’t figure this out
Oh, come tomorrow
Who are you gonna follow?
There’s gonna be no future
If we don’t figure this out

Psychic guru catches minnows in the harbor (Come on to Mama, come on, Mama)
Everyone tells him he should work a little harder
(Come on to Mama, come on, Mama) Hey man, get to work, catch up
They all tell you that freedom must be bought
But baby, he’s already caught ’em
So why do we gotta tell each other how to live?
The only prisons that exist are ones we put each other in

Come to Mama
Tell me who hurt ya
There’s gonna be no future
If we don’t figure this out
Oh-oh-oh, come tomorrow
Who are you gonna follow?
There’s gonna be no future
If we don’t figure this out

Come to Mama
Come on to me, whoa-oh-oh
Come on to Mama
Come on to Mama
Come on to Mama

‘Cause I wanna be there
I wanna be there for you
I wanna be there
Why do we gotta tell each other how to live?
The only prisons that exist are ones we put each other in
Why do we gotta tell each other how to live?
Look what that rainbow did
