Life is a struggle between right and wrong.
You can feel the action in the sound of a song.
Can’t you see they’re stealing the things that we deserve?
Most people don’t even know which side they serve.
They got you smiling and moving your feet.
Anything surprising is consumed by the beat.
It’s so inviting. It’s colonized your mind.
The song is over and you can’t rewind.
A new idea
In the breeze.
Watch it sail
Through the trees.
Will it melt?
Will it freeze?
Will it fall to the latest disease?
You came in crying. The news was so tough.
That could never happen in the nation we love.
You made a motion. And music filled the air.
We started dancing like we didn't care.
A new idea.
Try to hear
Through the walls
In your ears.
Wave your hand
And a nation is destroyed.
You only step on the ants that you can’t see.
You can feel the action.
Please listen.
