Hope of the world is in our generation

It's all left up to us to change this present situation

Take caution from our elders

don't make the same mistake

Let's fill the world with love

and get rid of all the hate

Our elders taught us one thing but

practice another

Just look what happened to

the Indian and the brother

(Straighten it out )

(Straighten it out )

(Straighten it out )

Hope of the world is in our generation

It's all left up to us to change

this present situation

Our leaders make us fight

and we don't know what for

If they want people killed

let them fight the war

It's gotta end somewhere

this killing's got to cease

If no one were to fight

we'd all live in peace

Our generation

It's all left up to us

Our generation

Let's do just what we must

And straighten it out

Gotta straighten it out

Straighten it out

Yeahhh we gon' straighten

it out yeahh

As long as there's a you

there's a better me

It's why we're together and

stronger than they ever thought it could be

A world motherless can health care cover this

A love for all people

no matter what the culture is

Our generation is makin' huge strides

A self-empowering movement that's on the rise

The more the door is open

the more the youth can see

A fair chance means a greater opportunity

To have a brighter future

deeper insight

Work hard to be anything you want in life

It's what it's all about

the longevity

Educated enough to know what's ahead of me

Need to straighten it out

seek and you'll find

They can cage your body

but not your mind

We lay it all on the line in the struggle

We grew but together here's what we gotta do

Our generation

It's all left up to us

Our generation

Let's do just what we must

and straighten it out

Our generation straighten it out

Let's straighten it out

and straighten it out

Hey we can straighten it out yeah

C'mon yeah Our generation

let's straighten it out

Hey hey we'll straighten it out

We'll straighten it out

straighten it out

New York City

Atlanta better straighten it out

In Los Angeles
