I wish I had a way to make the world a better place
I wish I had a genie that could save the human race
I wish a cure for cancer would just drop right in my lap
I wish the politicians would stop handing us this crap
I wish there were no homeless people sleeping on the street
I wish I wish I had an answer for this mess was laying at my feet
I wish we all had happy lives and happy families
I wish we all just got along and did just what we please

Ain't no way, ain't no how;
If there is a way, we better get to it now

I wish the stress that brings us down would all just go away
I wish tomorrow was the start of more than just a day
I wish the gasaholics saw the end of fossil fuel
I wish instead of greed we'd all live by the Golden Rule
I wish mankind would see the light of harnessing the sun
I wish the atom bomb would just be used to make things run
I wish there were no hungry people wanting more to eat
I wish surrender was a word that didn't mean defeat

Ain't no way, ain't no how,
If there is a way, we better get to it now
We've got to find a solution
Got to make a resolution
Got to end all this pollution
�you call this evolution?.... NO!

I wish all hate and prejudice would disappear from sight
I wish all thieves and twisted souls slipped out into the night
I wish the people of the world could live in harmony
I wish the leaders all decided we could all be free
I wish the children never heard the word that we call war
I wish that God would let me have the things I'm wishing for
I wish the lyrics to this song were burned into a stone
I wish I'm not the only one who makes this wish alone

Ain't no way, ain't no how,
If there is a way, we better get to it now
We've got to find a solution
Got to make a resolution
Got to end all this pollution
�you call this evolution?.... NO!

You better get ready��. 'cause here it comes
You know if the grid goes down
Things will change in a hurry
But probably not for the better
You might wanna' think about
Learning how to fish
Or start a garden�
There won't be any Facebook, or YouTube, or MySpace, or Twitter
As a matter of fact there won't be much of anything..
On the bright side we won't have any more biased newscasts, political correctness, Religious differences, or energy crisis.
Pornography won't be an issue either.
Neither will fashion statements or any of the time-consuming television commercials.
It's your call, people�..
