Under these circumstances they can hardly cope
Notice their fleeting glances and their lack of hope
I offer this suggestion, they don't seem to care-o
This is my generation drowning in despair-o
You'll never find peace of mind in your pool of self
You'll never find peace of mind in your sea of wealth
You'll never find peace of mind in your rock and roll
You'll never find peace of mind if you sell your soul
You gotta like it, you gotta love it
I know you need some freedom from the strife
You gotta like it, you gotta love it
I know you need some Jesus in your life
We circumvent our feelings through an angry sound
He who complains the loudest wears the fattest crown
We're anti-everybody, call it paranoia
Well, I ain't no judge or jury but I'm praying for ya
You'll never find peace of mind in your lucky charm
You'll never find peace of mind on a hippie farm
You'll never find peace of mind in a one-night stand
You'll never find peace of mind in your superman
You gotta like it, you gotta love it
I know you need some freedom from the strife
You gotta like it, you gotta love it
I know you need some Jesus in your life
You dropped right in the middle of a freak attack
'Cause we're back and we're comin' like that
You see, we're lowerin' the boom in the middle of the tune
'Cause the funk is always heavy where it's at
So while you're whining all the time, never changing any minds
It is clear to see your lip has lost its button
'Cause if you take a think at this it is easy to admit
That the selfish way you're living is for nothing
You gotta like it
You know you need some freedom from the strife
You gotta love it
You know you need some Jesus in your life
