Lyrics Marvin Gaye – Piece Of Clay
Text:
Father stop, criticizin’ your son
Mother please, leave your daughters alone
Don’t you see that’s what wrong
With the world, with the world today
Everybody wants somebody
To be their own piece of clay
Everybody wants somebody
To be their own piece of clay
We all talked of kindness
But it’s only, only a word, truly
Brother turn on a sister
In this cruel, cruel world
That’s what’s wrong
With oh, in this world today
Everybody wants somebody
To be their own piece of clay
Everybody wants somebody
To be their own piece of clay
Somebody to play with
Wanna mold you, wanna mold you
Shape you like they wanna
Wanna to do their thing
Children are told, to give not just to take
If we were all children,
You know the world
Will be a better place, oh
Everybody wants somebody
To be their own piece of clay
We should all love each other
Love and take one another
Love and not hate, oh
Everybody wants somebody
To be their own piece of clay, yeah
Everybody wants somebody
To be their own piece of clay
True everybody wants somebody
To mold them, shape them own way
Everybody wants somebody
Try to make it
Or do their, do their thing
Everybody wants takes somebody
Got to make it do their thing
Everybody wants somebody
To be their own piece of clay
Everybody wants somebody, somebody
To be their own piece of clay
