Lyrics:

Tryin' times, what the world is talkin' about You got confusion all over the land, yeah You got mother against daughter, you got father against son You know the whole thing is getting out of hand Then maybe folks wouldn't have to suffer If there was more love for your brother But these are tryin' times, yeah, yeah You got the riots in the ghetto, it's all around A whole lot of things that's wrong is going down, yes, it is I can't understand it from my point of view 'Cause I think you should do unto others As you'd have them do unto you Then maybe folks wouldn't have to suffer If there was more love for your brother But these are tryin' times, yes, it is I said man is always talking 'bout it's inhumanity to man But what is he tryin' to do to make it a better man? Oh, just read the paper, turn on your TV You see folks demonstrating about equality But maybe folks wouldn't have to suffer If there was more love for your brother But these are tryin' times Tryin' times, yeah, that's what the world is talkin' about You got confusion all over the land
