Our Generation Songtext
von Ernie Hines

Hope of the world is in our generation (Let′s straighten it out)
It's all left up to us to change this present situation (Let′s straighten it out)
Take a lesson from our elders
Don't make the same mistake (Let's straighten it out)
Let′s fill the world with love
And get rid of all the hate
Our elders taught us one thing but practice another
Just look what happened to the Indian and the brother
Straighten it out
Straighten it out
Straighten it out
Hope of the world is in our generation (Let′s straighten it out)
It's all left up to us to change this present situation (Let′s straighten it out)
Our leaders make us fight
And we don't know what for (Let′s straighten it out) If they want people killed
Let them fight the war
It's gotta end somewhere
This killing′s got to cease
If no one were to fight
We'd all live in peace
Our generation (Let's straighten it out)
It′s all left up to us (Let′s straighten it out)
Our generation (Let's straighten it out)
Let′s do just what we must
Straighten it out (Straighten it out)
We gotta straighten it out (Straighten it out)
Straighten it out (Straighten it out)
We can straighten it out


Hope of the world is in our generation (Let's straighten it out)
It′s all left up to us to change this present situation (Let's straighten it out)
Gotta world full of machines
Poison in the air
Wanna go live on the moon
Can hardly live down here
There are something others
But on the other hand
Too many of us
Ain′t no never change
Our generation (Let's straighten it out)
It's all left up to us (Let′s straighten it out)
Our generation (Let′s straighten it out)
Let's do just what we must
Straighten it out (Our generation)
We can straighten it out (Let′s straighten it out)
Straighten it out (Our generation)
Let's straighten it out (Let′s straighten it out)
In the USA (Our generation)
In Vietnam (Let's straighten it out)
Everywhere (Our generation)
All over the world (Let′s straighten it out)
Washington DC (Our generation)
Let's straighten it out (Let's straighten it out)
In Detroit city (Our generation)
Straighten it (Straighten it out)
Chicago (Our generation)
We can straighten it out (Let′s straighten it out)
A lot of Georgia (Our generation)
Straighten it out (Straighten it out)
Los Angeles (Our generation)
