The ways of the Lord are straight and narrow 
But the ways of the world are far and wide 
In dispensation the right thing is so hard to do now 
While wickedness is all around 
So what's the use of all the fuss and fight 
What about the basic human rights 
There's enough for one and all 
Living the ways of the Lord every day and night 
If we lived together this life would be much better 
If we loved one another we all could be so free 
The life we live, the way we handle ourselves 
Remember Lucifer is around 
So what's the use of all the fuss and fight 
What about the basic human rights 
That's enough for one and all 
Living the ways of the Lord every day and night 
The poor baby's hungry, no food can they find 
Mother is going out of her mind 
Father has upped and gone away 
He has fallen into crime 
The poor baby's hungry, no food can they find 
Mother is going, mother is going out of her mind
