lyrics

The System

This train is bound for crash
We’re all aware of that
A blind eye turns to black
And we all go to Heaven

A temple rings the bell
Ceremony Sunday’s tell
Uniforms they fit you well
What’s it take to break the spell?

Needing a new System
Not a profit or religion
Unified mass commitment
To avoid crash course collision

I don’t wanna burn more fuel
Don’t wanna fire more gas
I don’t need more of this
Let alone more of that
What I want is energy
Clean renewable chemistry

I don’t wanna buy more things
That I really don’t need
When all I need is love
Unconditionally
What I want is energy
Clean renewables

Needing a new System
A non-capitalistic rhythm
Democracy’s lost it’s wisdom
And what we need is long term vision

I don’t wanna burn more fuel
Don’t wanna fire more gas
I don’t need more of this
Let alone more of that
What I want is energy
Clean renewable chemistry

I don’t wanna buy more things
That I really don’t need
When all I need is love
Unconditionally
What I want is energy
Clean renewables

Needing a new System
What I’m needing is a new System
Are you needing a new System?
To avoid crash course collision
