As a part from any reality ever seen or known*
There’s a man approaching on a hilltop oohh too touch his very soul
would be a pleasure for the everlasting race of man
Just to take him by the hand and let him guide us through the land
cause we can no longer live in peaceful harmony
Of course its just a problem that occurs in other countries

So let us all just once again assail our ears
for all the truth of human failure we don’t want to hear

But its up to you and whatever you can do
So if you don’t arise a bitter surprise will soon appear for you

Everybody talk about… United Nations
Somebody talk about… food for all
Nobody talk about… civilization
All you gotta do is let it be a part of you

How can I rejoice on this very day
My life is a catastrophe not like some fairy tale
The garbage man didn’t pick up the can today
The color of my TV set has faded into grey

But its up …

Everybody talk about… the rise in taxes
Somebody talk about… what money can buy
Nobody talk about… our easy access
All you gotta do is let it be a part of you

Maybe I should reconsider all my thoughts once more
All this unawareness could just turn into a war
The pollution of our future turns our life in to a hell
Our sons and daughters has to drink the water from our well

But its up …

Everybody talk about… the worlds pollution
Somebody talk about… nuclear waste
Nobody talk about… a common solution
All you gotta do is let it be a part of you
