It's time to put away our

Guns and ammunition

We can do it if we try

I tell you what the reason

Causing all the friction

Discrimination is a crime We can do it

If we try

Let war and hatred

Pass us by CHORUS

We can do it if we try

Let war and hate just pass us by

We can do it if we try

Right now! Ah ha ha My generation

God help the children

My generation

God help the children If parents only had more

Time for understanding

The youth won't have to turn to drugs

There's only one solution

Causing all the problem

We talking universal love We can do it

If we try

Let war and hatred

Pass us by CHORUS

We can do it if we try

Let war and hate just pass us by

We can do it if we try

Right now! Ah ha ha My generation

God help the children

My generation

God help the children RAP: PATO BANTON

It's time to stop and think about

What you done to others

And if it's good we'll go ahead

And JAH will sure protect you

But if it's bad just watch your step

Cause you will surely stumble

The meek and very humble My generation

God help the children
