Try it harder, oh polito! Try it harder, oh banka!
Try it harder, I say, all ye media people!
Find the ways of love and understanding,
find the ways of hope and doing!
Try it harder all ye helpless leaders! Try it harder!
Try it harder, don’t go mad! Try it harder, improve yourself!
You can’t take our money away from us, the working hand!
To do all the things we don’t like
and stand in the way of reality’s might:
try it harder to change your way of thinking! Try it harder!
Try it harder and sweeter! Try it harder and freer!
Try it harder and wider! Try it harder and wilder!
The ways of love and action!
The ways of satisfaction!
Try it harder all ye helpless leaders! Try it harder!
Try it harder and wetter! Try it harder and fresher!
Try it harder and purer! Try it harder and nuder!
The ways of love and wonder!
The ways of goin’ yonder!
Try it harder all ye helpless leaders! Try it harder!
Try it harder, all ye politos! Try it harder, all ye bankas!
Try it harder, don’t go mad! Rather join the people instead!
And to misleadin’ entertainers
and cheatin’ journalists I say:
“Try it harder to help all the people, it’s our way!”
Try it harder in your heart! Try it harder in your mind!
Try it harder, try again not to be so unkind!
Find the ways of love and understanding,
find the ways of hope and doing!
Try it harder all ye helpless leaders! Try it harder!
