#attitudes

1. The world and his wife went to bed late last night,

they thought about the things that were wrong, weren't right.

They hoped that evolution would come with a solution

that would make everything all right again.

Chorus:

Attitudes make the world,

Attitudes make it worse or better.

Everyone has the aptitude for peace.

Let's make peace, and the world will be a place for peace.

2. The world he thought how men lived in poverty and despair

while leaders created systems and weapons for war and fear.

People tired of being hungry for food and peace each year.

While their leaders turn away as if they don't see nor care.

Chorus:

Attitudes make the world,

Attitudes make it worse or better.

Everyone has the aptitude for love.

Let's make love, and the world will be a place for love.

3. His wife she said my love you're in the red.

When she thinks of all the people without a place to call a bed.

While bad folks and the wicked build castles around their heads

She shakes her head in sorrow 'cause it makes her very sad.

Chorus:

Attitudes make the world,

Attitudes make it worse or better.

Everyone has a part to play in this world of brotherhood.

Let's put hands and hearts together and make this world a place for good.

4. 'Cause peace, love and brotherhood is what's it's all about.

Peace, love and brotherhood come all you leaders shout.

Peace, love and brotherhood come all you people pray

That peace, love and brotherhood will last from day to day.
