wondering watching the seasons going by [01:14.71]Each new answer just brings ten new questions [01:22.26]My eyes have finally opened [01:37.04]Armored human wrecks walking the streets [01:44.23]Longing for a leader to take away their pain [01:51.82]We have not learned anything [02:07.54]Let me live another day [02:11.20]Without sorrow without shame [02:14.95]Let me feel the wind on my face [02:22.20]Let me feel the sun [02:25.85]And live my days with fun [02:29.66]Let me sing this hymn to life [02:36.23]Molesting and incest [02:39.86]Unloving parents feeding the oven of madness known as planet earth [02:50.99]Love turns into prostitution [03:06.10]Embracing into violence [03:09.21]Lovemaking into f**king [03:13.16]Greed kills our humanity morality our natural needs

should like to help everyone if possible Jew gentile black man white [07:17.42]We all want to help one another human beings are like that [07:20.83]We want to live by each other's happiness not by each other's misery [07:23.81]We don't want to hate and despise one another [07:26.41]In this world there is room for everyone [07:27.80]And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone [07:31.46]The way of life can be free and beautiful [07:34.35]But we have lost the way [07:36.44]Greed has poisoned men's souls has barricaded the world with hate [07:41.25]Has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed [07:44.12]We have developed speed but we have shut ourselves in [07:47.46]Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want [07:50.11]Our knowledge has made us cynical our cleverness hard and unkind [07:54.23]We think too much and feel too little [07:57.03]More than machinery we need humanity [07:59.72]More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness [08:03.19]Without these qualities life will be violent and all will be lost [08:07.30]The aero plane and the radio have brought us closer together [08:10.03]The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men [08:13.21]Cries out for universal brotherhood for the unity of us all [08:16.14]Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world [08:19.37]Millions of despairing men women and little children [08:22.60]Victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people [08:27.62]To those who can hear me I say do not despair [08:30.87]The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed [08:34.10]The bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress [08:37.67]The hate of men will pass and dictators die and the power they took from the people [08:42.80]Will return to the people and so long as men die liberty will never perish [08:49.22]Soldiers don't give yourselves to brutes men who despise you [08:53.00]Enslave you who regiment your

men [09:04.72]Machine men with machine minds and machine hearts [09:08.16]You are not machines you are not cattle you are men [09:11.94]You have the love of humanity in your hearts [09:14.06]You don't hate only the unloved hate the unloved and the unnatural [09:18.14]Soldiers don't fight for slavery fight for liberty [09:21.79]In the seventeenth chapter of Saint Luke [09:23.09]It is written the kingdom of God is within man [09:25.35]Not one man [09:26.16]Nor a group of men but in all men in you [09:28.96]You the people have the power [09:31.04]The power to create machines the power to create happiness [09:33.95]You the people have the power to make this life free and beautiful [09:37.43]To make this life a wonderful adventure [09:39.79]Then in the name of democracy let us use that power let us all unite [09:44.48]Let us fight for a new world a decent world [09:47.92]That will give men a chance to work [09:49.56]That will give you the future and old age and security [09:52.49]By the promise of these things brutes have risen to power [09:55.35]But they lie [09:56.27]They do not fulfill their promise they never will [09:58.98]Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people [10:02.88]Now let us fight to fulfill that promise [10:05.75]Let us fight to free the world to do away [10:08.59]With national barriers to do away with greed [10:11.64]With hate and intolerance
