Love and Happiness - Al Green

Well, we're droppin' our bombs In the southern hemisphere And people are starving That live right here And they're tearing down walls In the name of peace And they're killing each other In the Middle East But love and happiness Have forgotten our names And there's no value left In love and happiness They raise the price of oil Then they censor our mouths If you're a young couple today Forget buying a house And we wage our wars In the neighborhoods And we kill the young to feed the old And man, that ain't no good But love and happiness Have forgotten our names And there's no value left In love and happiness So, if you sell arms Or you run dope You got respect And you got hope But the rest of us die On your battle fields With wounds that fester and bleed But never heal Yeah and love and happiness Have forgotten our names And there's no value left In love and happiness (yeah) And love and happiness Yeah, love and happiness Have forgotten our names And there's no value left In love and happiness (oh, yeah) A little love and happiness (oh, yeah) Love and happiness (oh, yeah) A little love and happiness (oh, yeah)

Everyone is up in my face, need to get outta this place It's hard to see with you in front of my face, just another perfect day Acting like they wanna talk to me so fake, yet so friendly My eyes can see even the back of me, won't you just let me be 'Cause everyone is falling away, feel like they're stolen from me Wish everything didn't happen to me all I want is faith, love and happiness Every time one runs away another one's returning Wish everyone could just see your face, faith, love and happiness It seems everyone is up in my space, like it's the American way I run in case somebody takes my place just another change of pace I know you think you know a lot about me, so many wanna doubt me That my eyes can see even the back of me won't you just let me be 'Cause everyone is falling away, feel like they're stolen from me Wish everything didn't happen to me all I want is faith, love and happiness Every time one runs away another one's returning Wish everyone could just see your face, faith, love and happiness Every which way I turn I've got the option of a million choices Every single word I say is judged by a million critics Every which way you turn you've got the sound of a million voices Every single move you make is torn by a million cynics When will we all see the light of day? I don't know 'Cause everyone is falling away, feel like they're stolen from me Wish everything didn't happen to me all I want is faith, love and happiness Every time one runs away another one's returning Wish everyone could just see your face, faith, love and happiness
