Watch out, sister, watch out, brother
Watch our children, while they kill each other
With a gun they bought at Walmart discount stores
Welcome to the hallway, metal detector just been installed
Hey, isn't cops and robbers gettin' to be a big bore?

Mary, Mary, quite contrary, close the door, now, it's much too scary
Yeah, you might see somethin' you wish you hadn't seen
Outta sight, outta time, outta patience and I'm outta my mind
Governor, tell me, what does it mean?

Dance, children, dance to the beat
Wanna be a hippy 'cause life was so sweet
Well good morning, hey, you
Dance, children, dance to the beat
Wanna rock'n' roll up and down the street
I got a message, oh, yeah

Love is a good thing
Love is a good love is a good love is a good thing
Love is a good thing
Love is a good love is a good love is a good thing, yeah

Politicians on a mission, build 'em up, bring 'em down
For the good o' the system
Well, we don't like the way you live your life
I got one thing I must express
We try our criminals in the press
Justice is a fading light

Well, Mary, Mary quite contrary, close the door now, it's much too scary
And you might see somethin' you wish you hadn't seen
Outta sight, outta time, outta patience and I'm outta my mind
Governor, tell me, what does it mean?

Dance, children, dance to the beat
Wanna be a hippy 'cause life was so sweet
Well good morning, hey, you
Dance, children, dance to the beat
Wanna rock 'n' roll up and down the street
I got a message, oh, yeah

Love is a good thing
Love is a good love is a good love is a good thing
Love is a good thing
Love is a good love is a good love is a good thing

Love is a good thing
Love is a good love is a good love is a good thing
Love is a good thing
Love is a good love is a good love is a good thing

Love, love, love
