The Human Family Band - 'Since the Revolution'

I TRIED TO MAKE MY WAY BACK TO THE GARDEN
TO SEE IF LOVE AND PEACE WERE GROWING STILL
ALL I FOUND WAS WHAT REAL ESTATE SUBURBAN HAD KILLED

SEEMS THAT PEACE AND WAR ARE NO LONGER CONTRADICTIONS
THERE ARE NO WE ITS ME AND YOU
TO BE BLIND BY CASH IS NOT TO BE DISABLED
MAN IT’S WHAT WE DO

ITS A LONG TIME SINCE THE REVOLUTION
THE ONE WHERE CHANGE WAS IN THE AIR
THAT TOMORROWS WORLD WAS TO BE BROKEN UP
AND SHARED

ALONG THE LINE IT ALL GOT RE-BRANDED
RE-PACKAGED PUT ON SHELVES TO BE RE-SOLD
IF IT WEREN'T FOR ALL THE GLOBAL WARMING
IT’D BE COLD

NOW DAY'S EVERYONE THINKING LIKE POLITICIAN S
POETS ARE NO PLACE TO BE FOUND
THE DEAD ARE UP WALKING TALKING
NOT UNDERGROUND

ITS A LONG TIME SINCE THE REVOLUTION
POWERS NOT IN FLOWERS ANY MORE
COMMERCIAL CHANGE PRODUCES CONFUSIONS AND WAR

NO ONES YELLING MONEYS WON,
SOWN UP STITCHED UP THE DEALS BEEN DONE
SPINNING KILLING TRUTH WITH LIES
YOU SOUGHT IT, BROUGHT IT, NOW YOUR HYPNOTISED,
DONE DUSTED YOUR FREE TO VOTE,
FOR THE MEN IN SUITS THAT’LL CUT YOUR THROAT
DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY
DOESN’T HAVE TO BE NO NO
BILLIONAIRES TRILLIONAIRES MINIMUM WAGE
DIVISION COLLISION WARS HATE
AIN’T LOVE ‘N’ PEACE A BETTER WAY
STOP PLAYING THEIR TUNE THAT’S ALL I’M SAYING
TOGETHER AS EQUALS STANDING STRONG AND FREE
UNITED DIGNIFIED BY A COMMON HUMANITY
IT’S TIME FOR CHANGE TIME TO TAKE THE STAND
PAVE THE WAY TO THE PROMISED LAND ALL THE WAY TO THE PROMISED LAND

IT’S A SOLUTION
THE ROAD TO SALVATION IS WITHIN US ALL
I HAVE A DREAM I HAVE A DREAM
BROTHERS AND SISTERS
THAT WE ALL LIVE IN HARMONY
A HUMAN FAMILY BAND
LISTENING TO THE SOUND OF THE HUMAN FAMILY BAND
HAND IN HAND
CONSCIOUS BEINGS KNOWING
THE DIRECTION WHERE WERE GOING
OFF DOWN THE ROAD OF LOVE
TO THE PROMISED LAND
TO THE PROMISED LAND
AIN’T THAT BEAUTIFUL THOUGHT
AIN’T THAT GODS MOST BEAUTIFUL THOUGHT
LOVE PEACE EQUALITY
AMEN
