To change the world, you must first change your mind Leave the illusion and the matrix behind True wealth is measured by what you give away Not by the debts that you owe or you pay. We wake up to the ticking of a digital clock Bound by the chains of the system we lock The screens feed us fear, the markets dictate Trading our hours for a corporate fate The greed at the top builds a towering wall They count up their billions and watch us all crawl They divide us by color, by border, by creed To keep us from seeing the root of their greed. But the power isn't theirs, it belongs to the ground In the quiet rebellion where true strength is found Turn off the machines, break away from the screen Step out of the matrix and into the green We fight the illusion by choosing to care The ultimate weapon is the love that we share. The ultimate weapon is the love that we share. They want us consuming, they want us in debt Dependent on systems that make us forget How to grow our own food, how to heal our own pain How to walk with each other in sunlight and rain So step off the ladder and drop out of the race Look into the eyes of a human face Build up the community, plant a new seed Local reliance defeats global greed. Because the power isn't theirs, it belongs to the ground In the quiet rebellion where true strength is found Turn off the machines, break away from the screen Step out of the matrix and into the green We fight the illusion by choosing to care The ultimate weapon is the love that we share. The ultimate weapon is the love that we share. It’s not found in anger, it’s not found in hate That just feeds the monster and seals up our fate It’s found in the barter, the help, and the hand It’s reclaiming our minds and protecting the land When we don't buy their malice, their empire falls A thousand small voices tear down their high walls. To change the world, you must first change your mind Leave the illusion and the matrix behind True wealth is measured by what you give away Not by the debts that you owe or you pay. Yeah, the power isn't theirs, it belongs to the ground In the quiet rebellion where true strength is found Turn off the machines, break away from the screen Step out of the matrix and into the green We fight the illusion by choosing to care The ultimate weapon is the love that we share. The ultimate weapon is the love that we share. So wake up tomorrow and refuse to comply With the fear that they sell and the goods that they buy Just love one another, and stand side by side That’s how we turn back the corporate tide Hold onto each other... That's how we survive. Turn off the screen. Step into the green. The ultimate weapon is the love that we share.
