Do you feel that hunger that sadness
that pain travelling halfway around the
world like U.S. troops do to bring it
Forgive them father for they know not what
they do but they bring it
I forget what truth sounds like sometimes so
I sing it
But I cannot forget the headlines that cut
across my mind
Making jokes of people’s pain
Jealous of our intelligence so they blowin out
people's brains
They starve and humiliate parents then feed them
bleached foreign aid flour with
their babies’ bones
Sensationalist news segments are selling back
the parts of us we have disowned
Because it was not energy efficient
Our collective soul has been officially declared deficient
In Vitamin C cuz we blind and Vitamin D cuz
we deaf
So malnourished are our hearts and minds that we see
only profit in death
That has become the way of the world they say
survival of the fit don’t gimme that shit
man this is survival of the sick
Don’t tell me these politicians are more fit
than you and me
Magicians in the matrix they flipped the script
so we couldn’t see
The power that we live and breathe
They hold that dirty green under our noses and
we become forever trapped by the tease
Forever wanting more cuz when you’re empty
there's no limit for your need
They scrape us out til we’re empty stuffed with
flashing TV screen and nudie magazines
We plug the holes in our souls with broken dreams
And then we blame each other for getting in the way
We should blame each other for forgetting how to
pray for neglecting to stay
Around long enough to make sure everyone is accounted for
To make sure everyone knows what they are
here for
Do you know what you are here for?
You were put here for a reason by the power
that is not by the ones that be
Never forget your worth you were precious from
birth and your purpose on this earth is
to give meaning to we
Life is about trials and tests and the big DJ in
the sky don’t take no requests
So you better take the song you were give and dance
Listen to the music you are living and dance
There is a melody to the madness and it sounds
like love and sadness and passion and rage
and peace and madness
All at the same and different times
We are all singing different lines
of the same damn song
So when it comes down to it ain’t nuthin to it
but to do it
It’s about time for a new movement
People of the world we what 6 billion strong?
Minus that 1% small big-headed blood blister
of the population sucking us dry
Singin twisted pop music lullabies to spiritually
deformed children they comin on strong
from the dark side
But we pushin it along from the right side
We might run but we will never hide
There is no shadow deep enough to cover up
this shine
This world is yours and it is mine
And it is up to us to define
The what the when and the how
And everybody gon get a cut so if you’re hungry
let's do this the time is now.
