lyrics

We don’t need no violent revolution
So drop the gun – we gotta live as one
Won’t achieve a thing with persecution
Live as one – follow the sun

You know we’re all in this thing together
Like it or not – you better give it a shot – it’s now or never
It’s the game of life – interdependent so
You gotta roll with the punches gotta go with the flow
You gotta push your little psyche into another dimension
Cause divine intervention ain’t no human invention
The seeds you sow – better let them grow
If you seed the field then you’ll be the reaper

And it really doesn’t matter if you’re rich or poor
Cause no class hate’s a-gonna win your war
See it’s not about money it’s not about drugs
It’s not about envy it’s all about love
Love is the teacher – love is the key
Love is within you love is without you
Take it or leave it the choice is yours
Believe it the bodies are falling about you

So let me be your brother
Let me be your friend
Let me fight beside you
Till the very end

I tell you genocidal tendencies are silly to extreme
After all you’re still quite small – you dunno where you’ve been
You was only swearing yesterday – now you wanna win the world away
But you haven’t got anything left to say
