"Mother Mary" Lyrics

Now I know you've got a lot to do
people always tryin' to bother you
And its got to be a busy time
From Korea down to columbine

People lickin' up and kickin' down
Aint' a lot of love to go around
It's never what you are it's what you've got
And everybody wants to be on top

But You've given us this life to lead
And there's got to be some good in we
Evil times, we've got to stick it out
It's gonna take a lot to turn around

I guess you take the good and multiply
Add a little love and loose the pride
All together now, we're on our own
People let me know what side you're on

So mother Mary
Watch over me
My soul is empty
I don't believe
Won't you take me away to a place that I'll
Be happy and high 'til the day i die

People I don't know what you've been told
But I wanna sex drug and rock ' n roll
I wanna meet a lot of pretty girls
I wanna be the one who saves the world

But while I'm tryin' to get my life to be
Like a video on mtv
I keep running out of faith and time
And evil things are getting amplified

And aint' nobody advertising pain
People always getting paid to change
Whatever happened to the "be yourself"?
I've got a lot of angry tears to sell

I guess you take the good and multiply
Add a little love and loose the pride
All together now, we're on our own
People let me know what side you're on
