Right Now

COME ON PEOPLE RIGHT NOW

by Garth Brooks as Chris Gaines, 1999

lyrics sung to the tune of
the 1967 hit "Get Together" by The Youngbloods

Maybe it's the movies, maybe it's the books, maybe it's the government and all the other crooks
Maybe it's the drugs, maybe it's the parents, maybe it's the gangs with the colours that we're wearing
Maybe it's the high schools, maybe it's the teachers, tattoos, pipebombs underneath the bleachers
Maybe it's the music, maybe it's the crack, maybe it's the bible or could it be the lack?

Come on people now, smile on your brother, everybody get together, try to love one another right now.

Maybe it's the papers, maybe it's the family, mabye it's the internet, radio, tv
Maybe it's the president, maybe it's the last one, maybe it's the one before that
Maybe it's the athletes, maybe it's the dads, maybe it's the sportsfans, agents, fads
Maybe it's the homeless, aliens, immigrants
Maybe it's alive, don't tell me that it's imminent.

Come on people now, smile on your brother, everybody get together, try to love one another right now.

Maybe it's the fallout, maybe it's the ozone, maybe it's the chemicals or radiation cell phones
Maybe it's the magazines, maybe it's the next page, lotteries, fast food, bad news, road rage
Maybe it's the unions, big business, maybe it's the KKK and the skinheads
Maybe it's the daughters, maybe it's the sons, maybe it's the brothers with the mommas and the guns.

Come on people now, smile on your brother, everybody get together, try to love one another right now.

Maybe it's the cops, maybe it's the sex, maybe it's the talk shows, maybe it's a reflex
Maybe it's the taxes, maybe it's the system, judges, lawyers and prisons
Maybe it's the catholics, maybe it's the protestants, maybe it's the addicts and the hippies and the communists
Maybe it's the fashion, maybe it's a trend, maybe it's the future,

MAYBE IT'S THE END
