[Part I: 1st Movement]

[Verse 1: Terry Kath, All]
Can't stand it no more
The people dying
Crying for help
For so many years
But nobody hears

[Chorus: Terry Kath, All]
Better end soon, my friend
It better end soon, my friend
Yeah yeah yeah

[Verse 2: Terry Kath, All]
Can't take it no more
The people hating
Burning their brothers
They don't understand
Oh, they can't understand

[Chorus: Terry Kath, All]
Better end soon, my friend
It better end soon, my friend
Yeah, yeah, yeah
