Right Now

Written by: Cheryl Wheeler, Chet Powers; Album: Garth Brooks In... The Life Of Chris Gaines; Produced by: Capitol Records-1999

Maybe it's the movies
Maybe it's the books
Maybe it's the government and all the other crooks

Maybe it's the drugs
Maybe it's the parents
Maybe it's the gangs
Or the colors that we're wearing
Maybe it's the high schools
Maybe it's the teachers
Tatoos, pipe bombs underneath the bleachers

Maybe it's the music
Maybe it's the crack
Maybe it's the Bible
Or could it be the lack

(Chorus)
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now
Right now

Okay
Maybe it's the papers
Maybe it's the family
Maybe it's the internet, radio, T.V.

Maybe it's the President
Maybe it's the last one
Maybe it's the one before that

Maybe it's the atheletes
Maybe it's the ads
Maybe it's the sports fans, agents,fads

Maybe it's the homeless, aliens, immigrants
Maybe it's life
Don't tell me that it's imminent

(Repeat Chorus Twice)
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right Now
Right Now
You gotta love one another

Maybe it's the fallout
Maybe it's the ozone
Maybe it's the chemicals, the radiation, cell phones
Maybe it's the magazines
Maybe it's the next page, lotteries, fast food, bad news, road rage

Maybe it's the unions, big business
Maybe it's the KKK, and the skinheads
Maybe it's the daughters
Maybe the the sons
Maybe it's the brothers or the mothers with the guns

(Repeat Chorus Twice)
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right Now

You know if we don't talk about it
It ain't gonna gonna get better
You gotta love one another
So what do you say

Let's talk
Maybe it's the arts
Maybe it's the sex
Maybe it's the talk shows
Maybe it's a reflex

Maybe it's the taxes
Maybe it's the system, judges, lawyers, prisons

Maybe it's the Catholics
Maybe it's the Protestents
Maybe it's the addicts,and the hippies, and the communists
Maybe it's a fashion
Maybe it's a trend
Maybe it's the future
Maybe it's the end
