Listen, huh

[Verse]
We can't go on living in this way
What kind of life do you call this?
We got people fighting people
Got more problems than peace (Uh)

Why can't we understand?
You know we can't sustain (Ah)
This world that we're livin' in
This world that we're livin' in's gone insane

You know we keep creating
And we're perpetuating
All these lies
All this hateful despise
Why can't the world just get along and keep it funky now? (Yeah, huh!)

[Break]
(Just keep it funky now)
(Woooohooo)
(Listen)

[Verse]
What the fuck is going on?
We got people hungry in the street, yeah
Whilst the hungry people up on top
They get to decide how much wealth of ours they get to keep

We've got to keep it together
You know the bullshit's got to stop
We shouldn't have to fight to keep love up on top

We've got racism, sexism, war
Don't you think we've had enough?
So why don't you just fuck off if your heart ain't set to love?

We gotta keep it cool
You know the world is heating up
Oh but we still got time before we fuck it up

You know love's the only answer
Love will show us how
How to keep it funky now, yeah yeah yeah
