Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Father, stop criticizing your son
Mother, please leave your daughters alone
[Verse 2]
Don't you see that's what's wrong with the world today?
Everybody wants somebody to be their own piece of clay
Oh, everybody wants somebody to be their own piece of clay
[Verse 3]
We all talk of kindness
But it's only, only a word, truly
Brother turn on a sister
In this cruel, cruel world
[Verse 4]
That's what's wrong with, ooh, with this world today
Everybody wants somebody to be their own piece of clay
Oh, everybody wants somebody to be their own piece of clay
[Verse 5]
Somebody to play with
Wanna mold you, wanna mold you
Shape you like they wanna
Want to do their thing
[Verse 6]
Children are told
To give, and not just to take
If we were all children
You know the world would be a better place
[Verse 7]
Oh, everybody wants somebody to be their own piece of clay
[Verse 8]
We should all love each other
Lover, not hate one another (One another)
We should all love each other
Love, not hate, oh
[Verse 9]
Everybody wants somebody to be their own piece of clay
Yeah, everybody wants somebody to be their own piece of clay
Truly, everybody wants somebody to mold
(Everybody wants somebody to be their own piece of clay)
Shape 'em their own way
Everybody wants somebody to try to make, oh, do their, do their thing
(Everybody wants somebody to be their own piece of clay)
Oh, everybody wanna take somebody, to try to make 'em, make 'em
(Everybody wants somebody to be their own piece of clay)
Like they self (Somebody, somebody)
Everybody wants somebody to be their own piece of clay
(Somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody)
Everybody wants somebody to be their own piece of clay
(Somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody)
Everybody wants somebody to be their own piece of clay
(Somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody)
Everybody wants somebody to be their own piece of clay
(Somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody)
