Description
A song I wrote some time ago. I'm still trying to track down my version but Mark made me the great compliment of doing two versions on one album. If you like the song, you can download Mark's stuff from i-tunes.

Lyrics
DON'T MESS AROUND

Too many people waiting in line
Hoping for food while the rich wine and dine
We've got to get it together
And do what the one God say

I'm not saying rich should be poor
All I am asking is open your door
And get it together
And do what the one God say

And he say
Don't mess around with the devil in yourself
Don't mess around with the devil in yourself
Don't mess around with the devil inyourself
Don't rness around with the devil in yourself

Love is'nt easy, survival comes first
lt's a hard thing to smile through the hunger and thirst
Still we've got to get it together
And do what the one God say

And he say
Don't mess around...etc.

In theheartof the jungle, 'cross the hot desert sands
Over mountains and snow plains, in every land
Please lend a hand and
Do what the one God say

And he say
Don't mess around...etc.

THIS VERSION
Thanks Len,
I actually prefer this version because it differs more from my own version on 'Nightfall' than Mark's other one on which I did backing vocals in Germany.
