Lyrics
Hey, we've been here before
All the worlds up in flames
That don't fix anything
Must be some other way
So much blood on the floor
Now we can't hide this thing
That won't fix anything
Must be some other way
Brothers, why we fighting each other?
My sisters, why we let the men take our power?
That's what they want (That's what they want)
That's what they want (That's what they want)
That's what they want (That's what they want)
That's what they want (That's what they want)
Our leaders don't correct the dividers
Our preachers teach the world of our colonisers
That's what they want (That's what they want)
That's what they want (That's what they want)
That's what they want (That's what they want)
That's what they want (That's what they want)
Let's be stronger than our fathers
Free yourselves and please our mothers
Can't you see we can't be governed?
If we choose love, if we choose love
Hey, we've been here before
All the worlds up in flames
That don't fix anything
Must be some other way
So much blood on the floor
Now we can't hide this thing
That won't fix anything
Must be some other way
Had a beautiful dream that I woke up in all of the puns
And the world had been rolled up
An ususal twist to our fate
Because none of them had any odd in the mud
It was almost the end of the world as we know
With the moment had never be closer
When it call out of hiding we're crying
To say, "It is time to start loving each other"
Let's be stronger than our fathers
Free yourselves and please our mothers
Can't you see we can't be governed?
If we choose love, if we choose love
If we choose love, if we choose love
