If the World Stopped Turnin'
If the world stopped turnin
Would it make a sound
Would the people stop to listen
Or watch it tumble to the ground
Is it a little to early to be judgin us by our works
Cause the whole world's gonna hate you
When you start handin out perks
So let's keep it fair and simple
Treat us like we're free
And give up your share
To help us feed our families
Cause when we all got peace and love
Everybody gonna think the lord above
And they will call you and honest slub
When all you was doin was handin out love
Got a fair and simple solution
Not a very calculated plan
Bring peace and love to the people
Or pay homage to the fall of man
The population can't keep it together
Unless we make a stand
Cause all the people's faces are gonna look the same when we're watchin the fall of man
No teacher's books, no sexual looks, no songs with hooks or gourmet cooks
No more sports teams, fantasy leagues, pop scenes or drama queens
No more tv stars, no more fast cars, boats and planes or friendly sayings
No more fans of love, no lord above, no hell below, no place to go
No more satellite streams, no more bad dreams, no more propaganda on your tv screen
No more gasoline, electric cars, no life on mars or shooting stars
No more corporate crime, political slime, smear campaigns or growing strains
No more oceans, streams, ivy leagues, or law degrees to save the trees
No more jail cells, incarceration, attacking people across the nation
No more gold, silver, diamonds, jewels, dirty gangsters, captain fools
No more late night fights or drug raids, no more petty theft and hurricanes
No more earthquakes or your right to choose the life you live, religion in schools
No more mainstream, AR-15s, or bombs exploding for corporate schemes
Come on people don't you understand
There's more at stake there's a bigger plan
We stand together or divided we fall
Not one of us but ONE AND ALL
Because divided we fall and together we stand
To keep alive the history of man
This aint no liberal dream or corporate scheme coming across your tv screen
It's the truth that hurts
When you close your mind you live your life on borrowed time
But it's not too late it's not the end
Everybody join and sing
Peace and love lord, above, everybody want peace and love
Peace and love lord, above, everybody want peace and love
Peace and love lord, above, everybody want peace and love
Peace and love lord, above, everybody want peace and love
Would it make a sound
Would the people stop to listen
Or watch it tumble to the ground
Is it a little to early to be judgin us by our works
Cause the whole world's gonna hate you
When you start handin out perks
So let's keep it fair and simple
