For Pete's Sake
The Monkees · Original Album Series [2012]
Don't you know that this is true?
Love is understanding
It's in everything we do
In this generation
In this lovin' time
In this generation
We will make the world shine
We were born to love one another
This is something we all need
We were born to love one another
We must be what we're going to be
And what we have to be is free
In this generation
In this lovin' time
In this generation
We will make the world shine
We were born to love one another
This is something we all need
We were born to love one another
We must be what we're going to be
And what we have to be is free
Love is understanding, we gotta be free...
