Man: what is segration?
Kid: i don't know what segration is.
Man: what is bigotry?
Kid: i don't know what bigotry is.
Man: what does hatred mean?
Kid: i don't know what that is.
Man: what is prejudice?
Kid: mmm, i think that is when someone is sick.
[military clip/what the world needs now singing in the background.]
Anybody here seen my old friend john
Can you tell me where he's gone.
[john f. kennedy shooting documentary]
Anybody here seen my old friend martin
Can you tell me where he's gone.
He freed lotta people
But it seems the good they die young
[martin luther king speech]
Anybody here seen my old friend bobby
Can you tell me where he's gone.
[robert kennedy shooting documentary]
What the world needs now
Is love sweet love
No not for some
But for everyone.
Man: what is segration?
Kid: i don't know what segration is.
Man: what is bigotry?
Kid: i don't know what bigotry is.
Man: what does hatred mean?
Kid: i don't know what that is.
Man: what is prejudice?
Kid: mmm, i think that is when someone is sick.
