"The World Is Rated X" lyrics - MARVIN GAYE

MARVIN GAYE
"The World Is Rated X"

[Chorus 1:]
Oh, the world's situation should be Rated X, Rated X
Said, the world's situation should be Rated X, yeah Rated X
Listen people!

Not only in the movie shows
Take a look outside it's where the truth is really told
It's life in living color
Fighting, killing and dope dealing, it's everywhere

[Chorus 2:]
What about the crime? Rated X
What about the killing, fighting, stealing everywhere?
They let the children see life destroyed
But they won't let them see its making
Oh what happened to God's creation?

The one thing that really bothers me the most
Is how we calmly take the lives of other folk
The world today is in a grave situation
Dirty water we can't drink, dirty air, it's so unfair
Oh, I know something is missing all over the world
Oh, Rated X, ooh, Rated X, ooh, Rated X baby
I know something is missing all over the world

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

[Bridge:]
Where's the love? Where's the peace?
Where's the joy? Where's the hope for us all?
Love has been Rated X
Hate is all the way Rated X

[Chorus 1]
