Perfect World (feat. Pluto Party)
If only
We lived in a world where all the people were equal
A world so pure and free from all evil
Where the wars on the streets just weren't as lethal
Where the people were perfect
A paradise so peaceful
Where the strong don't prey on the poor and the weak
But rather lend another hand when the road gets steep
Where we helped the less fortunate living on the streets
And as an answer to a slap simply turn the other cheek
See I really don't get why we can't just get along
Why we kill and why we steal when we know that it's wrong
Destruction and chaos, yeah it surrounds our society
Yet we fail to realise there's strength in our variety
We're all people, all from the same entity
But our colours still divide us, plus our identity
From white to black
From riches to rags
It's the same old story
Selling our souls for the glory
See all this causes
Is really nothing but pain
And at the end of the day
There's really nothing we gain
It's like they say "You can't have a rainbow without a little rain"
So let's turn to a new page and flush the old down the drain
I'm wondering if this world will ever change
Cause it's clear to see that we need to turn the page
I'm asking you how you feel about this life
Cause I know together we can turn the tides
We fear what we don't understand
Well that shouldn't be a problem
Let get to know each other and our friendships could blossom
Let break down all the walls and start building brotherhood
Let's trade love, peace and harmony and all sorts of other goods
Took our minerals and our oil
Call it "LIBERATION, CHAMP!"
But turn a blind eye when it comes to Xinjiang's concentration camps
You've done enough damage
Now please just leave us alone
Let us salvage what is left of our air stricked broken home
That you've been dropping bombs on peaking from your astrodome
First, you did it to all of us
Now you're even doing it to your own?
Guess that's the price you pay greed
When nothing suffices so you exceed
Passed all the limits of your needs
Won't last forever, GUARANTEE IT!
See it don't gotta be perfect
Long as it's not as sub-par
Just a little farther to go
Ain't got left to go much far
Till we can say that we have peace
Without the need to be carrying a piece
When we are walking down the streets
Now tell me, is that too bizarre?
I'm wondering if this world will ever change
Cause it's clear to see that we need to turn the page
I'm asking you how you feel about this life
Cause I know together we can turn the tides
Hear my words and let me be free
Like the morning bird humming its song up in a tree
I wanna be free
Free from the fear of failure that lurks over me
Grateful for what I've got
Probably more than I deserve
Wanna use what I've got and give back and only serve
For years I've sat back and just observed
Finally, I think it's time that some dialogue occurred
It's time I return the favour
Change can be sparked from a single man's behaviour
I think it's time we bring back in fashion
Empathy and compassion
As that's what's been lacking
Especially with all that is happening
Just maddening, all around the world
To tell you the truth seeing all of this is just so saddening
NOW A WORLD WITHOUT WAR
IMAGINE THAT!
WHERE WE FED ALL OF OUR POOR
IMAGINE THAT!
NO CORRUPTION OR GREED
IMAGINE THAT!
WHERE PALESTINE WAS FREE
IMAGINE THAT
Cause I'm way too fed up
I know that we can do better
The perfect world that we dream of
We can build it together
Cause I'm way too fed up
I know that we can do better
The perfect world that we dream of
We can build it together
Yeah we'll build it together
We can build it together
We can build it together
Yeah we'll build it together
Yeah we'll build it together
