Watch our sister, watch our brother
Watch our children while they kill each other
With a gun they bought at Wal-Mart discount stores
Welcome to the hallway
Metal detector just been installed
Hey, isn't cops and robbers gettin' to be a big bore?

Mary, Mary, quite contrary
Close your door now, it's much too scary
Yeah, you might see somethin' you wish you hadn't seen
Outta' sight, outta' time
Outta' patience and I'm outta' my mind
Governor, tell me: What does it mean?

Dance, children, dance to the beat
Wanna be a hippy 'cause life was so sweet
Well, good morning, hey, yeah
Dance, children, dance to the beat
Wanna rock-and-roll up-and-down the street
I got a message, oh, yeah

Love is a good thing
Love is a good–love is a good–love is a good thing
Love is a good thing
Love is a good–love is a good–love is a good thing, yeah-eh-yeah

Politicians, on a mission
Bring 'em up, bring 'em down
For the good of the system
Well, we don't like the way you live your life
I got one thing I must express: We try our criminals in the press
Justice is a fading light

Mary, Mary, quite contrary
Close your door now, it's much too scary
Yeah, you might see somethin' you wish you hadn't seen
Outta' sight, outta' time
Outta' patience and I'm outta' my mind
Governor, tell me: What does it mean?

Dance, children, dance to the beat
Wanna be a hippy 'cause life was so sweet
Well, good morning, hey to you
Dance, children, dance to the beat
Wanna rock-and-roll up-and-down the street
I got a message, oh, yeah

Love is a good thing
Love is a good, love is a good, love is a good thing
Love is a good thing
Love is a good, love is a good, love is a good thing, yeah

Love is a good thing
Love is a good, love is a good, love is a good thing
Love is a good thing
Love is a good, love is a good, love is a good thing

Love is a good, love is a good, love is a good, love is a good–
Love is a good, love is a good, love is a good, love is a good–
Love is a good, love is a good, love is a good, love is a good–

Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love

Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
