Before it gets too far
It's time to look at where we are
We're miles out to sea from where we ought to be

Ooh, it's a shame
Violence comes too easily
They're dyin' in the streets
Now it seems it's up to you and me

This is no time for heroes
We've got to get back
(Get back, get back)
Return to zero
Love is what we need
Love and understanding
Love is what we need, yeah

We've got to come down hard
Times being what they are
There's barely room to breathe
Even in our own backyards

Ooh, it's a sin
The time will come when no one wins
Hate is a disease
And it's catchin' up to you and me

This is no time for heroes
We've got to get back
(Get back, get back)
Return to zero
Love is what we need
Love and understanding
Love is what we need

To get back on our feet
Love is what we need
Love and understanding
Love is what we need

Love is what we need
Love and understanding
Love is what we need
To get back on our feet

Love is what we need
Love and understanding
Love is what we need
To get back on our feet, yeah
