We got to get ourselves together Take some time and talk it over We've got to get ourselves together Try and understand each other The time is come, it's now or never We must not wait until it's gone Gone, gone, gone, gone Lately, it seems like every thing's gone wrong Misunderstandings about who's right and who's wrong I don't know if I can stand it Why didn't it work out, people Worked out the way we planned it We've got to get ourselves together Take some time and talk it over We got to get ourselves together Try and understand each other The time is come, it's now or never We must not wait until it's gone Gone, gone, gone, gone So many things we've never talked about We thought we had everything worked out Can one man be right all the time? This world is so confused, how could we be so blind? We've got to get ourselves together Take some time and talk it over We got to get ourselves together Try and understand each other We got to get ourselves together Take some time and talk it over We got to get ourselves together, yeah Try and understand each other
