legacy - elektronomia lyrics

i’m sorry, but i don’t want to be an emperor
that’s not my business
i don’t want to rule or conquer anyone
i should like to help everyone
if possible jew, gentile black man white
we all want to help one another
human beings are like that
we want to live by each other’s happiness
not by each other’s misery
we don’t want to hate and despise one another
in this world there is room for everyone
and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone
the way of life can be free and beautiful
but we have lost the way
greed has poisoned men’s souls
has barricaded the world with hate
has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed
we have developed speed
but we have shut ourselves in
machinery that gives abundance has left us in want
our knowledge has made us cynical
our cleverness, hard and unkind
we think too much and feel too little
more than machinery we need humanity
more than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness
without these qualities
life will be violent and all will be lost
he kingdom of god is within man not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! in you!
you, the people have the power
the power to create machines
the power to create happiness!
you, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure
then in the name of democracy let us use that power
let us all unite
let us fight for a new world a decent world that will give men a chance to work that will give youth a future and old age a security
by the promise of these things
brutes have risen to power
but they lie! they do not fulfill that promise
they never will! dictators free themselves but they enslave the people!
now let us fight to fulfill that promise!
let us fight to free the world
to do away with national barriers
to do away with greed
with hate and intolerance
let us fight for a world of reason
a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness soldiers! in the name of democracy, let us all unite!
