Songtexte Try A Little Understanding - Middle of the Road

You keep speakin' of freedom
But what happens when you don't agree?
Don't talk on about freedom
When you don't know what freedom means

Hear a song, you think wrong, you condemn it
In your mind, you're not kind at all
So it seems, greater means only one thing
That with you we must agree
Come on, wake up children, can't you see
That you are not as free as me?

Try a little understandin' (Try a little understandin')
Try a little gentleness (Try a little gentleness)
You must be able, deny the fable
When all you do is follow

You keep tellin' your brothers
That man can only fight for what is right
Don't tell me about brothers
If you can't join the family

When a man, takes a stand, you decry him
Hear him speak, think he's me, that's not all
You use force as a source of revoltin'
'Cause with you it seems we must agree
Come on, wake up children, can't you see
That you are not as free as me?

Try a little understandin' (Try a little understandin')
Try a little gentleness (Try a little gentleness)
You must be able, deny the fable
When all you do is follow

You keep speakin' of freedom
But what happens when you don't agree?
Don't talk on about freedom
When you don't know what freedom means
