Oh, holy Moses and sweet Madonna
Where's that simple human kindness
My story closes and I'm a goner
Where's the truth in all this blindness

Come so far to find
There's still so long to go
Oh, let it all hang down

Do-do-do do-do-do
Let's just have a touch of that brain there
Do-do-do do-do-do
This rat race pace ain't gonna go nowhere

And I'll shout it and I'll scream it
Where's that simple human kindness
Guided missiles and jungle warfare
Disabled babies with no mothers

Do-do-do do-do-do
Let's just have a touch of that brain there
Do-do-do do-do-do
This rat race pace ain't gonna go nowhere

Get yer hair cut, get crew cut, get a suit
Get a white shirt, get a job, be respectable
Get a good shave, get a shoe line, manicure
Elocution lessons and be acceptable

"Be a success, life and soul of the party,
be educated and popular, body building
course and you can kick the sand right
back in their faces!"

Get yer hair cut, get crew cut, get a suit
Get a white shirt, get a job, be respectable
Get a good shave, get a shoe line, manicure
Elocution lessons and be acceptable

"Be a success, play guitar, be happy, like
everybody and everybody will like you!
Kick the sand right back in their faces!"

Oh, holy Moses and sweet Madonna
Where's that simple human kindness
My story closes and I'm a goner
Where's the truth in all this blindness

Where's that simple human kindness? Won't you tell me, brother?
