LYRICS
Been to the mountain top
Guess what I've seen?
A whole lot of people in the valley
Being mean
They're down there
Acting like fools
I can't fix the world right now
I got to play these blues
Politicians acting
Like they’re gods
When they should be creating
More jobs
That ain't right
(No it ain't)
That ain't cool
I can't fix the world right now
I got to play these blues
SOLO
Hey keys, come on in here
SOLO
Check it out, step back.
That's what I'm talking about
People getting shot
In the church, school and store
When we gonna rise up y'all and say
No more?
People, listen
See, there's only one way to choose
I can't fix the world right now
I got to play these blues
Enough for talkin’
It's time to act
When we get together
We have more of an impact
The power of love
Is what we need
To overcome the love of power
And then we’ll know peace
Let's get together
You too
We know the problem
Right from wrong
But why justice
Gotta take so damn long?
I'm afraid
Maybe I was born to lose
I can't fix the world right now
I got to play my blues
My blues
C'mon, y'all
SOLO

Toronzo is modest. Still did not fix the damned world. But is not lazy to add a grease.
