What the World Needs Now Lyrics by Jad Fair, Daniel Johnston

It’s Spooky

0

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the one thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the one thing that there's just too little of
Lord knows we've got enough pornography
There is X-rated theaters everywhere
Lord knows we've got enough crack houses
There are crack houses on every block
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the one thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the one thing that there's just too little of
Lord knows we've got enough heavy metal bands
Seems like the whole world is bowing down to Satan
Lord knows we've got enough devil-worshippers
There are secret cults in every town
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the one thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the one thing that there's just too little of
Lord knows we've got enough wars
They have filled the graveyards, no vacancy
Lord knows we've got enough atomic bombs
They could blow up the earth three times
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the one thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the one thing that there's just too little of
The world needs love
The world needs love
The world needs love
The world needs love
