Roxanne Meadows:
"So this is an entirely different system. We look at what causes the problems and try and design a society that eliminates war, poverty, hunger, crime, and that can be done today."
- VERSE -
Money isn’t what you want and I’ll prove it too/
You really only want the things money do for you/Y
ou can’t eat it, drink it, it don’t keep you warm/
You can’t stack it around you and build a decent home/
We don’t need reform/
from any politicians/
who make plants illegal for you to rot in prison/
The thing about the system/
that you gotta see/
is that it’s no longer relevant, it’s obsolete
We need a brand new vision for the way that we live/
Gotta change the world before our babies get big/
so they don’t feel a hundred and twenty degrees in the summer/
we can put the guns down and scream “PEACE” if we wanna/
I’m tired of living paycheck to paycheck/
This madhouse - I’ve tried but I can’t escape it/
I don’t blame anybody, it’s the same disease/
we’re all plagued by money and insane with greed/
At least we’re trained to be, it’s indoctrination/
The elite bent on worldwide domination/
We shouldn’t have to go to war and die for our nations/
while the only benefits go to corporations/
We can do much better, you can read about it/
Resource-Based Economy, The Venus Project/
Perpetual debt… where’s the bleepin’ logic?/
I dream about shouting’ “Peace, I’m out this…”/
Gonna bring you all with me if I ever get there/
You can have abundance and access to healthcare/
No more slave wages, it’s got to go!/
Tryin’ to feed our kids is almost impossible/
We all want the same things, we’re just tryin’ to live/
You don’t want the whole pie, just a slice of it/
So I’m-a strike a match and get right, ya dig?/
And I wish that you all could feel as nice as this
- HOOK -
Ask yourself - Do you really want war?/
(and the world… could be a better place)
Ask yourself - Could we really end poverty?/
(and the world… could be a better place)
Ask yourself - Is it worth looking into?/
(and this world… could be a better place)
For the stress and hard times you’ve been through/
(the whole world… could be a better place)
Ask yourself - Do you really want war?
(and the world… could be a better place)
Ask yourself - Could we really end poverty?
(and the world… could be a better place)
Ask yourself - Is it worth looking into?
(and this world… could be a better place)
A bright new future. NO borders. Come in dude!
(the whole world… could be a better place)
for you… and me…
for you… and we
for you… and me…
for you… and we…
Man I’m not your enemy, just hear me out and/
let’s have conversation - no screaming or shouting/
……let’s have conversation - no screaming or shouting
- VERSE -
I don’t wanna tell you how to live
make up your own damn mind/
You don’t like how I feel?
Cool homie, that’s fine/
We don’t have to kill each other over it though/
Do you, I’ll do me, we move forward and roll/
That’s what grown folk do! There is NO utopia!/
We stop improving… the show is over, son/
you got an idea? Man, I’m glad to listen/
A whole lot more UNITY, …that’s what’s missing/
