Things, Pts. 1 & 2

Baby, I’ve been thinking lately
What you been saying about starting a family
How we’re gonna teach 'em
When nobody’s even preaching 'bout right and wrong?
There’s hate on television, we’re hooked on terrorism
Nobody’s strong
There’s crime in the schools, cops don’t play by the rules
And that ain’t right
Ask them that it’s cruel, just taking 'em for a fool
Feels like day at night
Baby, I’ve been thinking lately
What you been saying about starting a family
Stuck in endless war, not about what it’s for
How can it be that way?
Slaves through the market, everybody is a target
Of the CIA
Gotta pay for education, pay for medication
And the seas just rise
Fashion’s just a sin, when they’re dying to get in
We see ourselves through another’s eyes
Baby, I’ve been thinking lately
What you been saying about starting a family
