Didn’t they learn Haven’t they read a book Or looked up what it was like in the South Or even in the History of Man What’s the plan? It’s like Jesus said this was supposed to be a house Of words, spoken in and out But for years they make it mad And it’s gotten so bad Children dyin, mommas cryin Too many people gettin angry or just sayin how sad Not that it was great In 1948 But back then we coulda predicted That this eviction looks a lot like a crucifixion With both sides screaming lies While somebody dies Is death really needed for salvation here? Are we waiting to see all the results of our fear? As we enter the age of automation Where one fleet of drones can destroy a whole nation Are we willing to argue as it all falls down Another apartheid, another go around? No one wins When no one gives No one receives Why we can’t live Together as life And all of you kids With your tents and your chants Please understand That the system sees your protests in jest It’s just the next thing on the apocalyptic checklist Its sees in dollars and yen It’s feeding all the revenge It’s not about common sense And I know You feel useless Watchin tha news Watchin bombs destroy over 300 schools on the other side All the families runnin for shelter As the sirens all blare out Incoming Rockets Helter-Skelter No one wins When no one gives No one receives Why we can’t live Together as life But you gotta consider that in ivory towers You’re spending hundreds of thousands and hours and hours To produce the exact system that you’re tryin to accuse And you’re leading the world into another cycle of abuse When you could stop and question exactly why your protestin Instead of standing up with a solution that stops all of the tension That’s the best for all weapon No one wins When no one gives No one receives Why we can’t live Together as life It may seem like the time for a revolution But look at the past Is that a solution? As long as anyone Lives in fear of survival Wars of revenge will see revival And the only way to stop this game Is to stop the blame because.... No one wins When no one gives No one receives Why we can’t live Together as life Unless we all give and then we all win
