Wize Up!
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
All you people with the power of authority
controllers of the children's destiny.
I know you've got a lot of work to do
and you can't bite off more than you can chew.
But this is all I really want to say to you:
Wize Up! And stop the star war games.
In this nuclear world
there's been a lot of mistakes (too many).
The "Chernobyl disaster"
it was the worst up to date.
There's radiation in the skies
it showers acid rain.
To make it worst our leaders
are playing star wars games.
They're playing star war games.
Word! People arise and get live
cause this ain't no time to fantasize
listen with your ears, look with your eyes
and give me five when you realize we got
nuclear technology powered by atomic energy
programmed by computerized efficiency.
This philosophy ain't nothing but insanity
sending satellites to probe outer space
when we need that money for the human race
we need a cure for aids and cancer
and every disease that we ain't got a cure for.
So give the money to the nurse and the doctor
and feed the people that are dying of hunger
do it now there's no time to wait
don't hesitate cause planet earth
is like a volcano about to erupt
and the only way to get it to stop...
Is if the people of the world Wize Up!
And stop the star war games.
Oh it's a crying shame
they're playing all these star war games.
In this insanity no love for humanity.
