I can't pretend
That everything always goes to plan
Why do we divide, the world
When all we do is cut our stride

Thinkin about livin a sad situation
Solivin problems through violent confrontation
Why do we kill to survive?
Thinkin if we lived in an advanced civilization
We'd find another means through some desperation
Do you really think we should die for this?

We've got the right, We've got the right to know
What's goin on if you're expecting us to fight for it

While you're sending us off to die
You're sittin in your little oval room.
Now I know that out of sight is out of mind
But take a look at what you're really doing now.
Put yourself in another's situation
Where's the motive yeah, where's the motivation?
Do you really think we should die for this?
How's it feel when you're sleepin at night
To know another mother lost her son in the fight?
No one else to blame but you, my friend.

Take a good look at what you're doin see...
you been breaking all the rules that you laid down for me..
how do you expect to be taken seriously
when you just killed the population of a whole city?
Civilized is what we ought to be..
You know your violence it seems really primitive to me.
I hear your words but I don't know just what they're meaning to me
You give me reason to believe you might be lying to me..

You've got to free your mind, to find
to find the truth you've got to free your mind.
We've got to unify, to find
to find the truth we've got to unify.

Keep on rockin and you steady the flow
Because music and love, it's gonna rescue us all
No I got no time for a hater it's true
What evil deed is done it's gonna come back to you.
No I ain't shootin arms, no my arms are wide open
to the individuals who be learning lovin's the truth
There's only one reason we're here:
to live, to learn, what I'm sayin now...
