A Tragedy In Progress - Radio Revolt lyrics

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 In this world there is room for everyone And the good earth is rich but we have lost the way Greed has poisoned men's souls 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 To those who can hear me, I say: Do not despair The misery that is now upon us is but the pa**ing of greed. Don't give yourselves to brutes - Men who despise you - Enslave you - Who regiment your lives - Tell you what to do - What to think and what to feel! Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men - Machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You don't hate! Only the unloved hate! You, the people have the power - the power to create machines. The power to create happiness, to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure Let us use that power Let us fight for a new world - A 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 fulfil that promise They never will! Now let us fight to fulfil 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 Let us all unite!
