Mary I know, you’re one who hears us cry Mary I know, you’re one who hears us cry Oh Mary you know, time are hard, and still we try Mother Mary come near, We’ve got work to do Mary come down, need hope and we need it now Mary come down, need hope and we need it now Oh Mary bless us, cannot let this pass, not now Mother Mary come near, We’ve got work to do Mary we ask, there’s so much we must learn Mary we ask, there’s so much we must learn. Oh Mary you know, peace with justice yes we yearn Mother Mary come near, We’ve got work to do Mary you know the times are dark and gray. Mary you know the times are dark and gray Oh Mary you know, evil men want to kill today Mother Mary come near, We’ve got work to do Mary come down, need hope I need it now Mary come down, need hope I need it now Oh Mary bless us, cannot let this pass, not now Mother Mary come near, We’ve got work to do Mother Mary come near, We’ve got work to do

Now the pharmacy’s closed, could you cut me some slack She shifted her weight, looked, laid on a nasty crack Angry when she’s mean and I better go back. Won’t someone say cut, set it up for take two Folks refuse the jab, some died on that hill. Millions doing fine, some folks want a horsey pill. Ignorance as freedom, can’t say I see the thrill. Won’t someone say cut, set it up for take two People lose their minds about bucks for sanitation Insist on a whitewash for kids education Meeting basic needs, nah that’s a socialist nation Won’t someone say cut, set it up for take two. If you want to bake a cake, you better get some batter Some want to climb high, some will steal the ladder For dough and power, commandments they will shatter (and they’ll call it virtue, too) Won’t someone say cut, set it up for take two Some read the Good Book and miss they had to care And some folks act like Jesus died a millionaire. People hurting people, don’t they end up down there? Won’t someone say cut, set it up for take two There was a cool guy named Dave, known for Take Five He’d just hate today's Rondo a la Jerk Jive Better cut the feed. (Better cut the feed) Cancel the go live (Cancel the go live) Someone better say cut, set it up for take two (Well, can’t stay here, let’s go on home)
