lyrics

We’re sending solders home to God before the world’s end
Claim every life spent is a means to defend
Fundamental zealots and the President on strings
Taping conversations and the songs that free birds sing

We’re taught less about love and more how to be afraid
Spending billions on a message about a enemy at our gate
It’s always a war for the sake of a few men’s needs
We could use all that money to get New Orleans off its knees
Citizens’ get fooled by patriotic schemes
Solders fighting for reasons not what they seem
Commander wants more money to get the job done
While the land of freedom has a lot of people with none

Love come around
Love come around
We have been divided and the hounds have come unbound
Love come around
Won’t love come around?
Come on stick together
Don’t give up on me now
Cause my door is open
My sign says come
Economy of Love
Let’s grow it
Let someone you don’t know
Let them know that have been loved tonight

What have we been learning since a Vietnam
Is how to kill them in the jungles now how to in sand
What have we been learning since the two towers fell
In the name of heaven we raised a lot of hell
We fear each other when our government should fear us
Think the rest of the world should be living like us
Distracted, dumbfounded, disease of decadence
NWO laughing while we feed inside the fence

Love come around
Love come around
We have been divided and the hounds have come unbound
Love come around
Won’t love come around?
Come on stick together
Don’t give up on me now
Cause my door is open
My sign says come
Economy of Love
Let’s grow it
Let someone you don’t know
Let them know that have been loved tonight
