Best Think Twice, We Ain’t All Right

We likely ought to stop to figure why, babe,We’re in this mess that we’re in now.
Yeah we mighten ought to stop to figure why, babe,
‘fore we make it worse somehow.
When that newsman crows at the break of dawn,
Might do ya’ better if the set’s not on,
But we’re the reason that he’s so far gone;
Best think twice, we ain’t all right.

We probably ought to try to shine some light, bud,
Try and change the common mode.
Yeah we probably ought to try to shine some light, bud,
And leave this dark side of the road.
We know that darkness cannot dark dispel,
Yet hate fightin' hate is what we do so well,
Feudin’ and cussin’ on this slow path to hell;
Best think twice, we ain’t all right.

And there ain’t no use in callin’ all these names, pal,
Like we’ve always done before.
No there ain’t no use in callin all these names, pal,
No one’s listenin’ anymore.
You call this one stupid and that one scum,
An' ask them to the table; you think they’ll come?
We fight over grain while we’re passing out crumbs;
Best think twice, we ain’t all right.

We’re all on the same messed up road, bud,
But to hear it, you’d never tell.
‘Cause we ain’t got a good word to share, pal,
Or a cool cup from the well.
Might be if we were a touch more kind,
Give more from our hearts and less of our minds,
Might start makin' these some better times;
Best think twice, we ain’t all right.
