Lyrics
One for the righteous
One for the ruling class
One for the tyrant
One for the slaughtered lamb
One for the struggle
One for the lasting peace
One for you and One for me
One for the Führer
One for his child bride
One for the wedding
One for the suicide
One for the bunker
One for the broadcast booth
One for me, now One for you
How did we get so far away from us?
How did we get so far away?
One for the people
One for the parliament
One for the weary
One for the malcontent
One for the master
One for the protégée
One for you and One for me
One for the breadlines
One for the billionaires
One for the missing
One for the barely there
One for the certain
One for the real confused
One for me, okay, now One for you
Now that we've come so far away from us
Now that we've come too far to say
You and Me, You and Me
That is an awful lie
You and Me, You and Me
That is an awful lie
It's I and I
It's I and I
It's I and I
It's I and I
Well the transit is of love
It goes back to love again
You understand
When somebody's having a problem with your issues
But whatever trip they're having a problem with
You try to bring it together
You try not to cause division
You try to make it as a cosmos
It's a cosmos, then it unfolds like a flower
It just keeps unfolding, time keeps moving on
Instead of someone saying
"Naw man, we're gonna do it like
We're gonna become fascists
We're gonna do it this way."
And you say, "No, we're moving on
And, I hope I see you later
Where everybody's okay."
And that's the human race
When there's total enlightenment
There will be peace, the world will be in bliss
When there's total enlightenment
So enlightenment is knowledge
As much knowledge as you can get people
To, to seek and understand, ya know
And it's mankind. It's me, it's you, it's us that do it
But we have to call it to align
We say, "Look, I'm not gonna kick that guy's ass
That happened ten years ago, I wish him well,"
That's love, ya know, and compassion
Or uhhh what do you call it...
(Mercy?)...What's that?.
(Mercy?)...Mercy
