Lyrics
It Doesn?t Have to Be This Way
Jack Walker
It doesn?t have to be this way
Ev?rybody living so fearful
Taken by the latest earful
From the minds that rule the day
It doesn?t have to be this way
Dominating all opposition
Blocking out the human condition
It doesn?t have to be, it doesn?t have to be
It doesn?t have to be this way
It doesn?t have to be this way
Living in a world of delusion
Drowning in a sea of confusion
From the media?s flawed display
It doesn?t have to be this way
Warring on for all the wrong reasons
When questioning is labeled as treason
It doesn?t have to be, it doesn?t have to be
It doesn?t have to be this way
There?ll come a time of reckoning the Prophets say
A time when love will rule the day
A time when all of us have found the higher way
When will we find the inner strength to say
It doesn?t have to be this way
Chasing the almighty dollar
It doesn?t take a Harvard scholar
To know that quest leads us astray
It doesn?t have to be this way
Running from the problems we?re facing
Let us run towards them embracing
It doesn?t have to be, it doesn?t have to be
It doesn?t have to be this way
