Let me tell you 'bout the new world order |
|
Not the kind to make you run for the border |
|
It's a new religion wrapped in a revolution |
|
With a proven solution for your mental pollution |
|
Don't let no one tell you that |
|
God ain't got a sense of humor |
|
Someone said he's pissed off, but that was just a rumor |
|
I know he's laughin' when the preacher starts to scream about |
|
How trippin' is evil, and sex is unclean |
|
Cars and gold bars and chains and diamond rings |
|
These are the symbols, we want the real things |
|
Peace in the soul and a natural insight |
|
Things that please the mind and make the body feel right |
|
Nature wants your life to go on long and on strong |
|
To have children and show them where you went wrong |
|
So if your life style leads you into hell or into prison |
|
Wake up and listen, this is what you're missing |
|
Free will, we can't seem to get our fill |
|
We are beggars, we are choosers drunk on a lack of power |
|
I believe in understanding, |
|
I've got to know where we're landing |
|
I'm takin' my survey now, hands up if you're with me |
|
Do you want different choices? |
|
Can't hear the quiet voices |
|
Got to dim all the lights, turn down the volume |
|
Put on a little more forgiveness, who's gonna be my witness? |
|
If we must endure this trial, someone is bound to touch us |
|
Do you want more sex, more comforting |
|
A little more foreplay and afterglow, let my people go |
|
Everybody wants peace on the earth, children sheltering |
|
Calling every man, every woman |
|
We're gonna take control of our own bodies |
|
Peace breaks out in the battle of the sexes |
|
We start to learn what the other one expects is |
|
We stay away from what the other one rejects is |
|
And have respect for individual perspectives |
|
We're gonna break out of this cycle of dependency |
|
And liberate each other from a hopeless life of drudgery |
|
And face up to the truth as we dispel all of this secrecy |
|
And simplify the situation when we learn to speak plainly |
|
We're gonna take control of the machinery |
|
Bad little actors that chew up the scenery |
|
Job number one is gonna be findin' a way |
|
That we can rave all night and meditate all day |
|
Mankind's strugglin' hard to see the light |
|
To hear the voice of the spirit in the night |
|
To lay down his heavy burden and pick up his soul power |
|
And build a heaven on earth hour by hour by hour |
|
Child protection, more careful mate selection |
|
Everyone wants to be wanted by a natural father and mother |
|
Lookin' for a sense of wonder, don't let your faith go under |
|
This is a beautiful world, if we could only give up fighting |
|
The answer is surrender, every race, every gender |
|
Beat our swords into plowshares on the anvil of a pure heart |
|
We gotta have honest answers and the courage to take our chances |
|
Opportunity's knockin' loud, give me your attention |
