Lyrics
Verse 1:
I don't wanna be an emperor, that's not my dream,
Don't wanna rule, just live in peace, it seems,
Jews, Christians, Pagans, Black and White,
We all wanna help each other, life could be so bright.
Pre-Chorus:
But greed poisons the soul, the world's full of hate,
Machines bring wealth, yet leave us in a state,
Knowledge made us cynical, wisdom hard and cold,
We think too much, feel too little, life’s getting old.
Chorus:
More than machines, we need humanity,
More than cleverness, we need kindness, see,
Without these virtues, life’s violent and bare,
Let's find the humanity that's hiding there.
Verse 2:
Planes and radios bring us near,
Inventions scream for goodness, a world so clear,
Millions hear my voice, desperate and small,
Victims of a system that tortures them all.
Pre-Chorus:
Soldiers, don't give yourselves to these brutes,
Men who despise and enslave you, that’s the truth,
You're not machines, you're men with love inside,
You can break the hate, let’s turn the tide.
Chorus:
More than machines, we need humanity,
More than cleverness, we need kindness, see,
Without these virtues, life’s violent and bare,
Let's find the humanity that's hiding there.
Bridge:
God's in every one of us, not just in a few,
You've got the power to make life free and true,
In the name of democracy, let’s unite,
Fight for a new world where chances are bright.
Verse 3:
Don’t fight for slavery, fight for liberty,
For youth’s future and old folks' security,
Barbarians made promises, they lie and deceive,
Dictators free themselves, but make the people grieve.
Chorus:
More than machines, we need humanity,
More than cleverness, we need kindness, see,
Without these virtues, life’s violent and bare,
Let's find the humanity that's hiding there.
Outro:
Fight for reason, a world without divide,
Greed, hate, intolerance, let’s cast them aside,
For a world of reason where science and progress,
Bring happiness to all, unite us in success.
