[verse] Some said "Money is the root of all evil" Some said "Power is the root of all evil" But I say love has been made the root of it all [chorus] That's what they said to me That's what they said to me That's what they said to me [verse] Love, the true power of humans And why then has it become titillation? A temple of a depraved shallower than a grave? [pre-chorus] Because this helps society Crawl forward so slowly that Nothing ever gets done And no one asks "And by this, what is won?" Moreso , who has won? [chorus] That's what they said to me That's what they said to me That's what they said to me [verse] I wish I could have seen the war And the oil fields burning And purple mountains And city lights twinkling in the night I wish I could have seen it all But you You know But you You know [verse] I wish I could have seen the end I wish I could have met the men The ones who made the war Or claimed the city [outro] But you You know But you You know How come everything is a problem for you? And everything is a war for you And everything is a game for you And everything's not enough for you? How come love is not the answer for you?
