Somebody’s Gonna Off the Man Lyrics

(God, won't you help this world we're in?)
(God, won't you help this world we're in?)

Somebody is gonna off the man
Everybody
I just don't understand
In the name of justice
In the name of peace
When will this killing and fighting ever cease
People ripping off their fellow man
Doing everything wrong
Everything they can

Why they wanna off the man?
I just don't understand

People, can't you see
What we're living in
The way the world is now
Ain't nobody win

They wanna off the man
I just don't understand
No, oh oh oh oh oh oh

(God, won't you help this world we're in?)
(God, won't you help this world we're in?)
Listen to me
There's a child out there
He needs love, he needs care
We get our children
Across the tracks
Lord knows that I don't know
How they're ever gonna get back

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
