Lyrics

About to start elevating

We are concerned, about the dominant use of military might.
We live in the world?s superpower: the United States of America. Our country acts as all powerful nations have up to this point, such as Imperial Britain and ancient Rome, in an extremely violent manner, militarily and systematically.

We as American citizens should have hope, please; to become the first powerful nation in the history of the whole world that doesn?t need to flaunt its military force in order to be powerful.
Imagine that.

Now as Americans, we really can stand up.
People in power are often times scared of art, especially critical art that questions authority because it has a lot of power to affect.

We must begin to realize and take responsibility for the short term and long term power to express the freedom to learn and the privilege of material gain that we have living in this area.
We encourage artistic expression that may mock and question oppressive policies; we are arts for action.

For we could realistically look for more humanitarian ways to spread our ideologies of freedom and democracy across the globe.

That?s on the real.
I believe in helping out the community in hopes for a change or rearrange.

Why don?t we spend, instead of seventy billion dollars to build bombs -- and then we're about to use working peoples tax money to rebuild a place that our country destroyed -- why don?t we just give money for water for everybody in India?

Why don?t you tell me that?
Why don?t we use our tax dollars like that?
For something sustainable.

Instead of going to war with Korea, Guatemala, Cuba, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Granada, Libya, El Salvador, including Nicaragua, Panama, Iraq, Somalia, Sudan and Yugoslavia, Afghanistan. . . bringing out dictators and arming them, and the people we're straight harming them.

Straight through our tax dollars, it makes a man want to holler.
But Mr. George Bush Sr. says, ?I will never apologize for the United States of America. I do not care what the facts are.?

And here we sit in this country, with all these parliament ideologies, spreading across as consumers, while people in the third world are making two dollars a day.

What is the difference here in the U.S.A. where poor migrant working families in the strawberry fields are barely making enough to yield?
While our government spends billions on building bombs, education health care and living wages take a back seat.
We must learn the local and international issues, they straight coincide.
