lyrics

People and nations are out for themselves.
We're not born with this greed and selfishness.
Society is the cause.

As it stands, we're rapidly moving towards social collapse.
Always wanting the next thing, never built to last.

As long as there is property, there's poverty.

National debts are infinite, it's the innocent that pay.
Let's get our kicks, helping the world become a safer place.

We could start anew.
Garden of Eden or oblivion?
It breaks down
and I am you.

So we need to show the soldiers how to really help
Bridge the difference.
Get rid of all the money
And see the world.
See the world.
See the world of abundance.

'Suppose it rained gold for about 3 days, gold dust.
People would go out and shovel it in, fill the cellars, the attic, every drawer in the.. they'd throw out their clothing.
If the rain kept up for a year, so the gold was all over the place
People would sweep it out of the house
Take their rings off, throw 'em away.
And so human behavior will change to that condition.
There's only a policeman in front of something
That people have need for and don't have access to'

You take the profit out of wars, they wouldn't exist.
I see a future where hunger is a thing of the past.

'A resource based economy operates on the basis of available resources.
It makes those resources available to every human being on earth, free of charge, without a price tag.
So we have today, more than enough resources
To build a far more advanced society.
I'm not talking about limited handouts, so that people just get by.
I'm talking about a very advanced civilization.'
