Lyrics

We all enslaved We all chained We all livin in Plato's cave Fastened gaze Staring at a cave wall Watching phantoms of our culture Like horned bull and a red drape for it we fall One day you break free from the chains Step out of the cave And into something close to infinite light A beautiful sight Finally free You re-enter the cave to tell the people about what you've seen But nobody likes to be told what to believe Be careful humans react easily You persist And the humans resist Now they're done So they kill the sun Same shit different day Livin in Plato's cave chained Livin in this paradigm enslaved Capitalist modernity Phantoms on the cave Influencing you and me Collapse of family and community for the state and market Individuals stay preoccupied with survival In the marketplace jungle In a world over which they exercise no control Moral behavior in the market place is all but impossible Capitalism reducing human diversity into faceless workers Homogenization of taste and culture Through mass consumer markets A philosophy of endless small talks Ideals embodied in cluttered shopping malls Kama Manas Desire minds The modern crisis We have become free-floating commodities Walking advertisements With no memory Of an alternative way of life To the father culture and hierarchical mentality Breath 1-2-3 Take a moment and think deeply Who When Where Why What do you see If you could be anything what would you be? Yemanese dying from hunger and disease Saudi Arabia Bin Salman pulling the trigger stop please With an American Gun Refugees people forced into migration A political prisoner Abdullah Ocalan A man trying to get civilization Out of Plato's cave Predator states Foreign intervention Venezuela let me mention Appointee Elliot abrams Responsible for Genocide El Salvador Guatemala Funding right-wing contras In Nicaragua The real solution to crisis in Venezuela Isn't right-wing Guiado regime changes Or Deadly sanctions Instead renewable energies Economic diversification Ecosocialist horizons The richest men in the united states Jeff Bezos Warren Buffett and Bill Gates Have more wealth than half the US population Social Darwinism as a justification Top of the pyramid powerful men Spying down with a powerful cam An all-seeing eye phone Following us everywhere that we go Patriot act following us all the way home Take rights away in the name of security Fuck that I say it securely Elected Modi, Netanyahu, Erdogan And Salvini in Italy Families arrested and separated At the South American border Escaping horrific situations People who need food and water US extraterritorial reach Arresting Julian Assange Threatening journalists and free speech globally Massacres in La saline, Haiti IMF indebting 3rd world countries To much reality Like suicidal kids slitting open their wrists Finding food, water, and shelter, Inequality climate crisis the struggle is real Rest in power Eric Garner All those in Palestine West Bank and Gaza Syria Raqqa Aleppo left for dead yo Uprising in Sudan and Algeria While Oil politics fuel bloodshed in Libya Daniel hale jailed by the espionage act Exposing war crimes in Afghanistan No man programs Chelsea Manning Honduras overthrowing The democratic government Hillary Clinton The cold war never ended Mike Pompeo and John Bolton Pushin' war with Iran Cyclone Udai and Kenneth in Mozambique Homes destroyed and thousands dead Climate change is planetary ethnic cleansing Over a million species on the edge of extinction Roe v. wade Trying to revoke women's right to abortion Bolsonaro Amazon deforestation For big agribusiness stop JBS Fascist parties and autocratic regimes Thousands dead at the hands Of Rodrigo Duterte in the Philippines Canadian Tar Sands More greenhouse gases in the environment Koch brothers war mongering science Funding climate change deniers Ecological and feminist movements The birds in capitalist modernity's iron cage Free Ocalan from containment Free Ocalan from the grip of the Levithan Free Ocalan from prison Free Free Ocalan To uncage Ocalan we have to uncage ourselves From the Iron bars that we live in Breath 1-2-3 Take a moment and think deeply Who When Where Why What do you see If you could be anything what would you be? In such times of chaos Small steps toward freedom Could amount to large leaps forward Sapiens history is simply the passing of greed As we approach Democratic modernity Democratic civilization is something In our thoughts and actions daily Not a past or future fantasy This conscious shift Will come from the youth As it always did The mind of a child is where revolution begins A revolutionary movement Is an educational movement A revolutionary quest for truth Truth is love and love is free life Through love mother earth will reach emancipation Critical thinking and collaboration we can find solutions Freedom is communal life without war To make cultural change We gotta change how we communicate Change how we interact with one another A sociology of freedom Balance of right and left brain Yang and Yin Nature is the grounds for morality and ethics Gaia theory The morality of oneness Utopia is not a destination it's a journey A changing society that never stops learning There is no final destination that's the understanding We need the democratic flexibility To continue to progress And learn from our mistakes Because once you get out Plato's cave You step into another an even bigger cave There's always room for change There's always room for change Breath 1-2-3 Take a moment and think deeply Who When Where Why What do you see If you could be anything what would you be Breath 1-2-3 Take a moment and think deeply Who When Where Why What do you see If you could be anything what would you be Breath close your eyes Watch closely See with your mind's eye All starts with a dream If you could be anything what would you be All starts with a dream Will build a future where Gaia is free What do you see
