India Arie - Better People Lyrics

Complimentary "Better People" Ringtone

Yeah Yeah! 
Yeah Yeah! 

I wish there was a video game 
to teach you your ancestors name 
I wish there was a phone number 
Like 1-800-Save-Your-Brother 
I'm thankful for the radio station 
Not afraid to put the truth in rotation 

There are skirts of information 
That you can only get in conversation with... 

Young People, who talk to 
Old People, it would make us 
Better People, all around... 
(Yes it would) 

And if Old People would talk to 
Young People, it would make us 
Better People, all around.... 
(Yes it would) 

We went from radio to TV 
Now we're going from LP to CD 
Don't be afraid 

To try something new 
I can help you with the brand new technology 
Help me with the age old philosophy 
Together there's so much we can do with: 

Young People, who talk to 
Old People, it would make us 
Better People, all around... 

And if Old People would talk to 
Young People, it would make us 
Better People, all around.... 

They say that every 
Generation gets worse 
Whether if your generous or no purse 

These problems tend to strive off the sky (yeah) 
Listen to Mahatma Ghandi's words 
Be the change you want to see in the world 
Start with yourself and healing will multiply 
AAAAAAH, that's what happens When.. 

Young People, who talk to 
Old People, it would make us 
Better People, all around... 

If Old People would talk to 
Young People, it would..... 
Better People, all around.... 

If black people 
Would talk to white people 
It would make us 
Better People 
All Around.... 

If Republican people would 
Talk to Democratic people 
It would make us diplomatic people 
[laugh] All Around.....
