What Are The Lyrics For The Message By Bela Fleck?
One day I'd like to be rich and famous
Maybe be funny like Andy and Ames Be on TV and sing like Stevie And have a girl who'd never leave me But I'd really like a place Where there could be no war A bright and shiny world where there ain't no poor Where there's opportunity, peace and unity Where people can be what they want to be And where Apartheid could never happen again Where people don't judge you by the color of your skin Where I hold your hand and you hold mine Where a helpful hand is never hard to find A place where people care Where no one could bear When someone's hungry, with nothin' there Where the heart is never cold The young are never needy, The old are never poor, And the rich are never greedy So bring the power to the people The people to the power Cuz now is the time, this is the hour To stop thinkin' about war start thinkin' about peace So on this life, we can get another lease With a lesson to learn A new direction to turn So we can take it to the sky where we belong Cuz 'fore to long, we been to wrong We've got the right notes But we play the wrong song Stop thinkin' with your wallet Think with your mind So we can move ahead Instead of behind We got the people selling drugs People are dying Politicians talking and we know they're lyin' Taxes for the poor, none for the rich People starvin' here in American Now ain't that a bummer And now my heats been turned off From my job, I've been laid off What am I gonna do? Well, is the shape I'm in Because of my dark skin? Now I know that can't be true But since we're all down here Let's work to make it better Do our best for what it's worth But you know the rules are bent When you have to pay rent Just to live on earth Talk about justice We're gonna do something now That's gonna be really slick We're gonna listen to Mr. Fleck and Chick I'm gonna say one more thing Then I'll get outta your face How 'bout a sound With a little bass And we got missles on the ground Lasers in space Underground shelters, just in case That something goes boom Certain doom Cuz in our hearts we didn't make enough room For the love It comes from up above Let's stop talking war And let's offer the dove Cuz when it's done it's over When it's over, it's done We look back at the wars And see nobobdy won It's time to make a better place For out daughters and our sons Or life will be a blast Pardon the pun |
