"Come To Mama" Lyrics

Everybody's got to love each other
Stop throwing 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 lab coat and a man of God
(Come onto mama, come to mama)
Fought over prisms and a forty day flood
(Come onto mama, come to mama)
Well, I say rainbows did more than they've ever done
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
So why do we gotta fight over ideas?
(Aah, aah, aah)
We're talking the same old shit after all of these years
(Ayi, yi, yi)

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 onto mama, come on, mama)
Everyone tells him he should work a little harder
(Come onto 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 them
So 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?
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
Ooh oh-oo-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 onto me
Woah oh-oh oo oh-oo-oh
Woah oh-oh oo oh-oo-oh

Come onto mama
Come onto mama
Come onto mama

Woohoo-hoo woohoo hoo-oo-hoo
Woohoo-hoo woohoo hoo-oo-hoo

'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
Look what that rainbow did

Oo-hoo woohoo-oo-hoo woohoo-hoo
Oo-hoo woohoo-oo-hoo woohoo-hoo
Oo-hoo woohoo-oo-hoo woohoo-hoo
