Douglas Ray Jaffe - Clean Up This Mess

Come down from Washington
Come down from Wall Street
Come down from Hollywood
Come in front of your back streets
Can we stop the double talk
Find peace without bitterness
Now's the time to get real
And come help, help clean up this mess
Can we save ourselves in time
When will we make up our minds
Can we enjoy what's left on earth
And not destroy what it's worth
Human compassion's dying
Can we shake off the idleness
When will we fix what's wrong
And come help, help clean up this mess
Can we find the inspiration
And the strength to survive
Take an age old dream for peace
And make it come alive
Let's wash away the madness
Clear our hearts and clean our hands
And come help, help clean up this mess
One day we'll see that it ain't force
But truth that rules this world
Look past our differences
Start acting like big boys and girls
Lift our sordid selfishness
Turn it back into care
And come help, help clean up this mess
Like those ancient heathens
We're betraying G-d's love
Now it's the love of possessions
Blinding us from the sky above
Oh, twenty centuries later
Still G-d's neither honored or blessed
If we'd all return to Him
I'm sure He'd clean up this mess
