B.J. Thomas - That's What's Wrong With The World Today Lyrics

B.J. Thomas Lyrics

"That's What's Wrong With The World Today"

He's standing on the corner
The truth is on his lips
Offering the gift of love and peace
Someone says he's crazy
And the crowd just passes by
No one stays to hear the prophet speak

That's what's wrong with the world today

Meanwhile in the alley
A salesman holds a crowd
Putting artificial comforts in their hands
Doubling his money
With every lie he sells
A profit a salesman understands

That's what's wrong with the world today
That's what's wrong with the world today
That's what's wrong with the world today
It's easier to sell a lie
Than to give the truth away

The prophet knows the truth
It's hard to give away
All will see but most don't wanna pay
And the salesman he can sell you
Another gift you buy
Dig into your pockets and buy yourself a lie

That's what's wrong with the world today
That's what's wrong with the world today
That's what's wrong with the world today
It's easier to sell a lie
Thank to give the truth away

The salesman and the prophet
Are there to meet your needs
Ask of either one and you receive
