They (The Eternal Myth And Paradox)

Who are these people who believe they have the right

The knowledge and the wisdom to impose their barbaric way of life

Upon you and I and others in this world

Which itself belongs to all of us or haven't they fucking heard

Who are these people who support the cause of war

And use their false morality and label it as law

Who are all these people who change happiness to pain

And turn the suffering of one into another's so called gain

Who are these people who wreak starvation and disease

And who are these people who build their system based on greed

Who are these people who create aggression, fear and hate

And then use them as tools to keep all others in their place

We have created all greed and all hate

For we are as one and do so must all take the blame

We are pleading for heaven whilst accepting this hell

We're asking for liberty whilst repressing ourselves

We are controlled by outsiders to whom we pledge our support

By our silence and acceptance we too are at fault

We sit and we suffer, and worse believe it's okay

Or we scream till we die but it won't go away

We may advocate peaceful or armed revolutions

But all we create are more institutions

To bind us and blind us, and tell us we're free

To restrict and confine us within normality,

Well freedom is internal or haven't you sussed

To possess freedom of mind is the first forward thrust

And normal, what's normal? but a lie and a con

And the most over populated prison where nobody belongs

The thought police are with us, they have been for years

They've standardized values with their weapon of fear

Fear of being pointed at of not blending with the crowd

Well we'll state we're individuals but never too loud

We're frightened and scared of the extent of our plight

And we hide in the darkness when presented with light,

We've polluted and poisoned and mistreated this land

We've tamed all the animals but failed to tame "man"

We eliminate symptoms rather than the cause

We are all the disease but we are also the cure

The rich and the poor and the weak and the strong

The black and the white and the old and the young

For givers and takers and daughter's and son's

For good against evil our work has begun

We must all stand together to rid this world of war

And of want and of suffering, so open your door

To harmony to unity to equality to sharing

Start breathing start feeling start living start caring

We can reach new horizons of trust and respect,

We can live hand in hand and let peace take effect,

We can open our hearts to compassion and love

We can open the cage that imprisons the dove

We can open our minds to be alive and be free

We can take down our barriers and reveal the true we

There is not them

And us.

There's only

You and me
