no world order
Let me tell you 'bout the new world order  Not the kind to make you run for the border  It's a new religion wrapped in a revolution  With a proven solution for your mental pollution  Don't let no one tell you that God ain't got a sense of humor  Someone said he's pissed off, but that was just a rumor  I know he's laughin' when the preacher starts to scream about  How trippin' is evil, and sex is unclean  Cars and gold bars and chains and diamond rings  These are the symbols, we want the real things  Peace in the soul and a natural insight  Things that please the mind and make the body feel right  Nature wants your life to go on long and on strong  To have children and show them where you went wrong  So if your life style leads you into hell or into prison  Wake up and listen, this is what you're missing  Free will, we can't seem to get our fill  We are beggars, we are choosers drunk on a lack of power  I believe in understanding, I've got to know where we're landing  I'm takin' my survey now, hands up if you're with me  Do you want different choices? Can't hear the quiet voices  Got to dim all the lights, turn down the volume  Put on a little more forgiveness, who's gonna be my witness?  If we must endure this trial, someone is bound to touch us  Do you want more sex, more comforting  A little more foreplay and afterglow, let my people go  Everybody wants peace on the earth, children sheltering  Calling every man, every woman  We're gonna take control of our own bodies  Peace breaks out in the battle of the sexes  We start to learn what the other one expects is  We stay away from what the other one rejects is  And have respect for individual perspectives  We're gonna break out of this cycle of dependency  And liberate each other from a hopeless life of drudgery  And face up to the truth as we dispel all of this secrecy  And simplify the situation when we learn to speak plainly  We're gonna take control of the machinery  Bad little actors that chew up the scenery  Job number one is gonna be findin' a way  That we can rave all night and meditate all day  Mankind's strugglin' hard to see the light  To hear the voice of the spirit in the night  To lay down his heavy burden and pick up his soul power  And build a heaven on earth hour by hour by hour  Child protection, more careful mate selection  Everyone wants to be wanted by a natural father and mother  Lookin' for a sense of wonder, don't let your faith go under  This is a beautiful world, if we could only give up fighting  The answer is surrender, every race, every gender  Beat our swords into plowshares on the anvil of a pure heart  We gotta have honest answers and the courage to take our chances  Opportunity's knockin' loud, give me your attention
