Love Insurrection

Lyrics
[Verse 1] Manichean times, have you heard the rumours of war? The blind lead the blind and the truth ain't truth anymore Poets warned about the coming storm No one reads books these days Conspiracy and illiteracy have taken their place [Chorus] Love insurrection Love insurrection We're lost and we need direction We need a love insurrection [Verse 2] Manichean times test us all, what do we believe? When we punish the poor for being poor and celebrate greed Should the hungry be fed and housed and protected from markets? Should wealth be shared? Shall we lay down our flags and our banners? And all the things that divide us And all the anger inside us [Chorus] Love insurrection Love insurrection We're lost and we need direction I'm praying for a love insurrection [Verse 3] In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king The planet's on fire and peace remains a dream Where you gonna run when humiliated multitudes rise? Where you gonna hide when the steel rain falls from the sky? Are you ready to die for that pie in the sky? [Chorus] I'm praying for a love insurrection A love insurrection We're losing and we need direction (I'm praying for a) I need a love insurrection [Bridge] Sisters and brothers estranged from each other Divided and ruled, taken for fools Love and democracy versus plutocracy This could be heaven, it's hell where we're heading [Chorus] Love insurrection Love insurrection We're lost and we need direction We need a love insurrection [Outro] Dicono che siamo impossibilisti Sognatori romantici Non ancora cresciuti Le nostre richieste ingenue e stupide Le nostre credenze una religione fallita Ma come � certo che il sole domani sorger� cos� faranno i figli del futuro contro ingiustizie, rabbia e crudelt� L'animo umano non sar� mai sconfitto Viva l'amore No pasar�n
