Who are these people who believe they have the right The knowledge and the wisdom to impose their barbaric way of life Upon you and I and others in this world Which itself belongs to all of us or haven't they fucking heard
Who are these people who support the cause of war And use their false morality and label it as law Who are all these people who change happiness to pain And turn the suffering of one into another's so called gain
Who are these people who wreak starvation and disease And who are these people who build their system based on greed Who are these people who create aggression, fear and hate And then use them as tools to keep all others in their place
We have created all greed and all hate For we are as one and do so must all take the blame We are pleading for heaven whilst accepting this hell We're asking for liberty whilst repressing ourselves We are controlled by outsiders to whom we pledge our support By our silence and acceptance we too are at fault We sit and we suffer, and worse believe it's okay Or we scream till we die but it won't go away We may advocate peaceful or armed revolutions But all we create are more institutions To bind us and blind us, and tell us we're free To restrict and confine us within normality, Well freedom is internal or haven't you sussed To possess freedom of mind is the first forward thrust And normal, what's normal? but a lie and a con And the most over populated prison where nobody belongs The thought police are with us, they have been for years They've standardized values with their weapon of fear Fear of being pointed at of not blending with the crowd Well we'll state we're individuals but never too loud We're frightened and scared of the extent of our plight And we hide in the darkness when presented with light, We've polluted and poisoned and mistreated this land We've tamed all the animals but failed to tame "man" We eliminate symptoms rather than the cause We are all the disease but we are also the cure The rich and the poor and the weak and the strong The black and the white and the old and the young For givers and takers and daughter's and son's For good against evil our work has begun We must all stand together to rid this world of war And of want and of suffering, so open your door To harmony to unity to equality to sharing Start breathing start feeling start living start caring We can reach new horizons of trust and respect, We can live hand in hand and let peace take effect, We can open our hearts to compassion and love We can open the cage that imprisons the dove We can open our minds to be alive and be free We can take down our barriers and reveal the true we
