NORTH AMERICAN GREED
I知 gonna need a bigger piece of the pie
And I want it right now cause it痴 my fucking birthright
I知 gonna cut in front of you when I知 pressed for
time,
Cause I知 way too important to wait my turn in
line.
I earned my reputation
Through coercion and intimidation
I want my free vacation
I want assimilation
This world was made for me
So I raise my glass for North American Greed
I値l light my cigarette with a nuclear A bomb
I値l shove my flag in your face and chase the
American Dream
I値l step on you to get where I want in this life
And when I知 done I知 gonna sell my truck and buy
an SUV
PEPPER SPRAY & BILLY CLUBS
I shake my head and close my eyes cause it hurts
to much to see / I realize that your greediness is
the cause of poverty / So I take a stand, open my
eyes so happily I see / A thousand other helping
hands reach out in unity
You'll pepper spray us if you can
But that wont make us stop
You'll make us fight our fellow man
But we will never fight the cops
We will tear down your entire system
And never throw a punch
In solidarity we fight!
We wont back down / When the pushes come to shove
yeah / Look at all the funny puppets playing with
their pepper spray and billy clubs.
We kicked your ass in Seattle, you didn't get
anything done / But still you came back for more
so on to Washington / The lights are on no ones
home, now the stage is set / For the total
destruction of the world bank and the IMF
You'll pepper spray us if you can
But that wont make us stop
You'll make us fight our fellow man
But we will never fight the cops
We will tear down your entire system
And never throw a punch
In solidarity we fight!
Where Is The Love? by Black Eyed Peas
What's wrong with the world, mama
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin'
In the USA, the big CIA
The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate,
yeah
Madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all
People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love
The love, the love
It just ain't the same, always unchanged
New days are strange, is the world insane
If love and peace is so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations droppin' bombs
Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
With ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young
So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone
So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong
In this world that we livin' in people keep on
givin'
in
Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them
dividends
Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother
A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover
The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love
Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the love, y'all
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' our wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema
Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness in equality
Instead in spreading love we spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading lives away from
unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Gotta keep my faith alive till love is found
Worlds on Fire by Sarah McLachlan----> Listen Here
Hearts are worn in these dark ages
You're not alone in this story's pages
Night has fallen amongst the living and the dying
And I try to hold it in, yeah I try to hold it in
[Chorus]
The world's on fire and
It's more than I can handle
I dive into the water
(I try to pull my ship)
I try to bring more
More than I can handle
(Bring it to the table)
Bring what I am able
I watch the heavens and I find a calling
Something I can do to change this moment
Stay close to me while the sky is falling
Don't wanna be left alone, don't wanna be alone
[Chorus]
Hearts break, hearts mend
Love still hurts
Visions clash, planes crash
Still there's talk of
Saving souls, still the cold
Is closing in on us
We part the veil on Archille's sun
Stray from the straight line on this short run
The more we take, the less we become
A fortune of one that means less for some
[Chorus x2]
